The Kingdom of Gilboa is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King David with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.414 billion Gilboans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The very strong Gilboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,354 trillion laurels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 63,256 laurels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,481 per year while the poor average 15,001, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, King David has just been declared ruler of Gilboa in an international press conference, Gilboa has designated Shiloh as its capital city, and a major religion has been named as Gilboa's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Gilboa's national animal is the butterfly.

Gilboa is ranked 242,688^th in the world and 12,911^th in Balder for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
