The Dictatorship of Glitchikhstan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mira the bug with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.118 billion Glitchikhstanians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Glitch. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.0%.

The thriving Glitchikhstanian economy, worth 121 trillion Bitcoins 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 108,449 Bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

The fate of the world literally rests on Mira the bug's fingers, people spend a lot on hair and nails, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glitchikhstan's national animal is the bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bugism.

Glitchikhstan is ranked 238,306th in the world and 2nd in Linux for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
