The Republic of Gilki is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.587 billion Gilkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gilkian economy, worth a remarkable 6,665 trillion gils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 378,980 gils, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gilki's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gilki is ranked 251,455^th in the world and 11,167^th in Balder for Most Authoritarian, with 357.24 milliStalins.
