The Oppressed Peoples of Jibberlan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 363 million Jibberlanians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The strong Jibberlanian economy, worth 20.7 trillion Franceses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 57,054 Franceses, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Only the wealthy vote, merchant ships always travel line astern in Jibberlanian waters, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jibberlan's national animal is the antelope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jibberlan is ranked 237,540^th in the world and 233^rd in Lone Wolves United for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 18.77 Effective Tax Rate.
