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 barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.227 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flibble Central. The income tax rate is 100%.

The gigantic but sluggish Flibbliblian economy, worth an astonishing 15,493 trillion Flaabens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 439,824 Flaabens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Flibblers, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. 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 6th in the world and 1st in Antarctica for Lowest Crime Rates, with 454.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
