The Dictatorship of Gambl is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7 million Gamblians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.0%.

The strong Gamblian economy, worth 296 billion left pinky toes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 42,387 left pinky toes, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has reverted back to an agrarian society after anything more advanced than the wheel was banned, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gambl's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gambl is ranked 224,575^th in the world and 220^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
