The Republic of Gabrielian

“Where every Man is king.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Gabrielian is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cuenca with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.064 billion Gabrielianians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alfaro. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gabrielianian economy, worth 229 trillion Gatalians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 111,361 Gatalians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, international tensions are high as Gabrielian threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and the Gabrielian Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown. Gabrielian's national animal is the Dolphins, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gabrielian is ranked 14,977^th in the world and 356^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 328.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
