The Rice Farming District of Gilbertion is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 603 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 51.8%.

The thriving Gilbertionian economy, worth 44.2 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 73,301 Geros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne, and the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears. 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 328,639^th in the world and 45^th in Terra Pacis for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
