The Republic of Gilki is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.747 billion Gilkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gilkian economy, worth a remarkable 3,671 trillion gils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 376,640 gils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

International commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism, bike rage is all the rage, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Gilkian as 'your finger, you fool'. Crime is totally unknown. Gilki's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gilki is ranked 6,045^th in the world and 263^rd in Balder for Best Weather, with 281 Meters Of Sunlight.
