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 renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.635 billion Grimms are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baxter. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Grimm economy, worth 379 trillion Knuckles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,179 Knuckles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pregnant women get a lot of evil glares from fellow passengers when leaving the country, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. 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 77,165th in the world and 2nd in Sourberry Fields for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,434.87 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
