The frighteningly efficient Gloctean economy, worth a remarkable 3,356 trillion ocus 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 Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 162,033 ocus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Glocte's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
