The Confederacy of The Islands of Gilbrina is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lord - General Papito Yolkstrini with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.667 billion Gilbrinan Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gilbri. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gilbrinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion Gilbrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,874 Gilbrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All Gilbrinan Islanders live like kings, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, and politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Islands of Gilbrina's national animal is the Two - Headed Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Islands of Gilbrina is ranked 10,445^th in the world and 368^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,774.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
