The Grand State of Gilmic is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Moktan Shazmir with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.441 billion Gilmicians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panthalassa. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gilmician economy, worth 747 trillion Kurums a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,328 Kurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBG Governor goes house hunting, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gilmic's national animal is the Saber tooth tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Gilmic is ranked 325,590^th in the world and 1^st in The Region of Gilmic for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.43 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
