The Empire of Gaberel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.856 billion Gaberelians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaberel City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Gaberelian economy, worth an astonishing 14,911 trillion galecs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 884,630 galecs, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gaberel's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Gaberel is ranked 231,798th in the world and 7,159th in Lazarus for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 4.52 Tourists Per Hour.
