Description: An icy island that's been inhabited by Vikings since after the Void Century. The city is a great fortress with towering walls and statues bordering the rampart. Like the environment, the people are cold and abrasive, but they are also people who are proud of their heritage and culture. With the integration of the Kuja in recent years, women have gained more respect on the island and aren't looked at only as housewives or shopkeepers. 

There's a strong value of strength, trusting ones instinct to find their own path, and comradery. Whether you aspire to be a master craftsman or a mighty warrior, you should do what your heart guides you to naturally. As outsiders to the World Government's affairs, but still a recognized power of the North, the people of Gilbaltor have a strong us vs them outlook on the North Blue. Many citizens and Vikings even support the rogue factions to a certain degree.

There's little toleration of crime, especially against ones own people. People are actually encouraged to commit crimes in other unaffiliated territories if they feel the need to break the law. Both men and women who wish to become warriors either as Vikings or honorary Kuja warriors must go through a rite of passage once they reach 16 years of age.

Lore: Coming from a settlement of Vikings deep in the remote section of the North Blue, were the Giant brothers Surtr and Skyrmir. Once the small family of giants was disturbed by humans they all went about their own ways. Skyrmir went on to establish the notorious Gourmet Pirates, while Surtr went to Gilbaltor and seized King Ivar's throne by marrying his daughter. This made the already intimidating Viking force all the more terrifying. 

Years later Charlotte Corday a Kuja woman from the East Blue and King Surtr have a dramatic battle on a certain island and earn each others respect. Unable to pass the opportunity of adding the Kuja to his already brilliant warrior nation, Surtr offers Corday and her small tribe of followers positions in his kingdoms army and she accepts.
