The Republic of Gilki is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.257 billion Gilkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gilkian economy, worth a remarkable 6,149 trillion gils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 378,237 gils, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gilki's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gilki is ranked 267,806^th in the world and 10,773^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 39.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
