The Democratie of Gilrabala is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.803 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The small government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A substantial private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Furniture Restoration.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime is a problem. Gilrabala's national animal is the japa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

Gilrabala is ranked 9th in France and 53,963rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
