The People's Republic of Gimel is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Gabriele with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.899 billion Gimelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Città d'Impera. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gimel economy, worth a remarkable 1,620 trillion Daleths 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, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 234,926 Daleths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, and the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gimel's national animal is the Gimelian Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gimel is ranked 18,451^st in the world and 1^st in Gimelian Union for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
