The People's Republic of Giklay is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 164 million Giklayians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 20.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Giklayian economy, worth 6.36 trillion Vendims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,765 Vendims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Communitas, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Giklay's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Giklay is ranked 211,539^th in the world and 375^th in Communitas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 291.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
