The State of Gilmanstate is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.482 billion Gilmanstateans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The very strong Gilmanstatean economy, worth 780 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,343 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Gilmanstate has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gilmanstate's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gilmanstate is ranked 245,350^th in the world and 5^th in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
