The Republic of Giblot is a Realm situated in the North Eastern Corner of the Colonies. At Giblot's present extent, it borders the realms of Alebad, the Assassins Guild and Outer Tilog. Giblot is currently involved in a long drawn out war with Outer Tilog, a war often quoted as no longer having any meaning for either realm. The recent acceleration of the War effort has now begun to destabilise the Politics of the entire continent and has since led to Giblot's most recent War Declaration upon the Assassins Guild in light of their recent Hostile Actions against Important Members of the Giblot Aristocracy.
Aside from its Military ambitions however, Giblot is also well known for its love of Headball, the passion of its inhabitants and the high values it places on Teamwork, Honour and Valour in Battle. Though since the rise of Sera Osha to the position of Minister of Offence, some wonder if Giblot has any Honour left at all...

Traditionally, Giblot has not been much of a sporting realm. All that changed however, upon the discovery of Headball!

The Giblot Headball League has since been setup to regulate this fast growing Sport and ensure that there are always enough heads to go round!
