The State of Gilpin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.548 billion Gilpinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Social Policy, and Public Transport are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gilpinian economy, worth 957 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 38,998 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Gilpin has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, all tariffs have been abolished, a major religion has been named as Gilpin's national religion, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Gilpin in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gilpin's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gilpin is ranked 179,007^th in the world and 1^st in Vientiane for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
