The Tri-Planetary Coalition of Glurponia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.869 billion Glurpons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Mars. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Glurpone economy, worth a remarkable 1,958 trillion standardized units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 220,829 standardized units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, Federal Council spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, and the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills. Crime is totally unknown. Glurponia's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Homestuck.

Glurponia is ranked 245,242^nd in the world and 9,401^st in The North Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 4.62 Whatever.
