The Constitutional Republic of Glurbina is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Aradus Borden VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.381 billion Glurbs hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Premestrova. The average income tax rate is 86.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Glurbic economy, worth 607 trillion Glurbic Lubats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,814 Glurbic Lubats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Premestrova River. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Glurbina's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Glurbina is ranked 245,842^nd in the world and 5^th in ScuffiaProjectia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
