Political
The Republic of Gabal is a relatively new democracy, having emerged from joint rule by two Western European countries in 1977. Gabal faces numerous political and economic challenges that have undercut the effectiveness and legitimacy of its government since independence was declared. Tribal politics run deep within the government and the country is deeply federalized among tribal lines. Issues associated with climate change, however, have largely united the country in recent years, as Gabal, along with many other small island nations, seek to influence global climate change politics.
Military
The Republic of Gabal’s military serves more as a symbol of the country’s independence from its neighbors than it serves as any true fighting force. Due to its small size, the Gabal military possesses little offensive capabilities and is no threat to any of its neighboring countries. The Gabal military also lacks the ability to defend itself against any major external threat. The military’s main purpose is the prevention of illegal fishing activities in the country’s territorial waters.
Economic
Gabal is a nation that faces serious economic stress. Fully cognizant of the lifestyle of a prosperous nation, it is now reliant on other nations for its very survival. This includes not only trade and economic aid but also global trends in both commodity pricing and climate change. Gabal will continue to attempt and exploit whatever resources are available to it, while also looking to expand its economic diversity and sources of funding.

Information
The Republic of Gabal is a small island within the South Pacific that is a liberal democracy and neutral to other regional countries, depending on the issue. Gabal understands the importance of the security guarantees in its relationship with the Republic of Torbia, but will readily accept money or capabilities from foreign influences. The government respects the freedom of media in telecommunications.

Physical Environment
Gabal is a small island nation located in an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean. It shares water borders with Belesia and South Torbia—with whom it has friendly relations. The country’s terrain consists of craggy mountains interspersed with flat lowland plains, limiting its agricultural potential and creating transportation challenges. Both vegetation and climate are tropical in nature. Troops must deal with extreme temperatures and humidity throughout the country. Frequent rains will hamper operations and maneuverability, as will seasonal cloud cover. Multiple natural hazards exist, resulting from the country’s geology, weather, native wildlife, and human activity. The lack of land borders and prevalence of natural disasters—such as typhoons and landslides—will complicate missions.
