The Matriarchy of Gabriella Cilmi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Elizabeth II with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.21 billion Australians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gabriella Cilmian economy, worth 236 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 195,458 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the official Gabriella Cilmian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Gabriella Cilmian sovereign territory, and Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gabriella Cilmi's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gabriella Cilmi is ranked 5,678th in the world and 35th in Goddess White for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 524.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
