The Colony of Greater Kibleston is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Philip Costeau with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.111 billion Kibels are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Habbel. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Greater Kiblestonian economy, worth 217 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,804 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, tuxedo rental companies are inexplicably going out of business, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, and Greater Kibleston has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Kibleston's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Kibleston is ranked 304,691^st in the world and 249^th in Empire of Great Britain for Safest, scoring 13.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
