The Holy Ever Loving Blue Eyes of Clobberin Time is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ben Grimm the Ever Lovin Blue Eyed Thing with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.198 billion Grimms are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baxter. The average income tax rate is 46.4%.

The thriving Grimm economy, worth 272 trillion Knuckles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,416 Knuckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nobles' fancy titles no longer help them cut in line at the supermarket, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food", and becoming a missionary is a sure-fire route to martyrdom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clobberin Time's national animal is the Thing, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cosmic Ray Transformation.

Clobberin Time is ranked 71,920th in the world and 5th in Sourberry Fields for Most Stationary, with 659.0956545674 days.
