The Realm of Gildori is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.197 billion Gildorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asterion. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gildorian economy, worth 149 trillion Gilds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 124,617 Gilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gildori's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gildism.

Gildori is ranked 19,579^th in the world and 453^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,111.14 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
