The Rogue Nation of Glurp is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Adraska Nocto with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.281 billion Glurpians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Thebes. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Glurpian economy, worth 268 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 81,841 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, third world countries are rich in "I Love Mount Thebes" t-shirts, Glurp is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown. Glurp's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Glurpian Malorthodox Coven.

Glurp is ranked 53,267th in the world and 64th in Eurth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,726.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
