The Community of Gleebleglorp is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.947 billion Gleebleglorpians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Gleebleglorpian economy, worth 74.9 trillion globbles 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 major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 38,488 globbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gleebleglorp's national animal is the crusty white dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gleebleglorp is ranked 82,482^nd in the world and 103^rd in Horizon for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 116.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
