The Tri-Planetary Coalition of Glurponia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.04 billion Glurpons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Mars. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Glurpone economy, worth a remarkable 1,682 trillion caesars 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 209,212 caesars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is totally unknown. Glurponia's national animal is the tarrasque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Homestuck.

Glurponia is ranked 17,819^th in the world and 239^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 85.71 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
