The Rice Farming District of Gilbertion is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 573 million Gilbertionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giltopia. The average income tax rate is 51.9%.

The very strong Gilbertionian economy, worth 40.4 trillion Geros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,565 Geros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Great Gilbertionian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", the possibility of gain causes universal pain, and oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gilbertion's national animal is the Mudskipper in a M2a2 Bradley, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gilbertion is ranked 314,656^th in the world and 42^nd in Terra Pacis for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
