The Morally Questionable People of Flibblers is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Oppressive Mighty One with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 42.668 billion Flibblibians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flibble Central. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flibbliblian economy, worth an astonishing 48,856 trillion Flaabens a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 1,145,045 Flaabens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flibblers's national animal is the Flibbitybobble, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Flibblers is ranked 7th in the world and 1st in Antarctica for Most Developed, scoring 102.84 on the Human Development Index.
