“Oh go on then”

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

The Community of Giabali is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 275 million Absters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Giabalian economy, worth 11.0 trillion Yulcs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,161 Yulcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is rumoured that Leader uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Giabali, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Giabali City Times is sold out. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Giabali's national animal is the Pug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Giabali is ranked 181,590^th in the world and 2^nd in The Anarcho Syndicalist Commune for Highest Economic Output, with 11.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
