The Free Land of Gabrielium is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 165 million Gabrieliumians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.2%.
The powerhouse Gabrieliumian economy, worth 14.6 trillion satoshi a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 88,469 satoshi, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
People talk about things being better when men were men, libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Gabrielium with a very polite populace, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime is moderate. Gabrielium's national animal is the onça, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Gabrielium is ranked 26,238th in the world and 7th in Free Market Federation for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
