Traditionally, Giblot has not been much of a sporting realm. All that changed however, upon the discovery of Headball! This has now become a national phenomenon and a favourite sporting event amongst the Giblot nobility and indeed the ordinary citizenry for that matter. The Giblot Headball League has since been setup to regulate this fast growing Sport.

Giblots style of Government is that of a Republic and voting takes place regularly to elect a new Prime Minister and Judge. Although the Council of Giblot makes the final decision on key issues and handles behind the scenes developments, far reaching decisions are usually put to a realm wide vote. It is this Strong, but Fair goverance that ensures Giblots continuing Success.
