The Gugglegob of Glaggle-land is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mister Chuckle with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.545 billion Glaggliali are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gooning Garage. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Glagglial economy, worth 125 trillion giggles 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 81,206 giggles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
International terrorists often get their weapons supply in Glaggle-land, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, political shows are fit for purpose, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Glaggle-land's national animal is the Kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is gibblegorg.
Glaggle-land is ranked 47,796th in the world and 3rd in Antraland for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,794.07 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
