The Confederacy of Gabyl is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kin Ji Li with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.673 billion Gabylians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derfurg. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gabylian economy, worth 585 trillion Gabylfrancs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 159,477 Gabylfrancs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ritual mummification is making a comeback, voting is compulsory, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and sociologists ponder how baby-napped ethnic minority 'runaways' could have gone so bad so soon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gabyl's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Moneyism.

Gabyl is ranked 30,238^th in the world and 34^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Black Market, with 76.9 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
