The Disputed Territories of Giberook Sen is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 8.102 billion Giberook Senians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doracre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Giberook Senian economy, worth a remarkable 1,472 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 181,715 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Highway rest stops are stocking up on fallout scrubbing kits, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, parking's carefree without parking car fees, and carpal tunnel syndrome is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giberook Sen's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Giberook Sen is ranked 27,879^th in the world and 2^nd in Tyche for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 261.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
