The Grand Principality of Monarchial Gibraltar is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Hobbs with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 967 million Sovereign Nobles are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emwell. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Noble Gibraltan economy, worth 134 trillion Sovereign Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 138,760 Sovereign Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Carefully-staged grief is displayed by Prince Hobbs after national disasters, stun grenade flashes and assault weapon fire form the expected nocturnal soundscape of Monarchial Gibraltar, a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, and state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Monarchial Gibraltar's national animal is the Jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Monarchial Gibraltar is ranked 23,606th in the world and 560th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 254.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
