The Community of Glongo is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, enforced nudity, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 710 million Glongoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Spirituality, Public Transport, and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kunka. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Glongoan economy, worth 55.1 trillion dingoloids a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 77,563 dingoloids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a man, endangered species face obesity instead of extinction, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Glongo's national animal is the man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Glongo is ranked 286,615^th in the world and 6^th in Jacobs for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -381.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
