The Tri-Planetary Coalition of Glurponia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.74 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 Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Mars. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Glurpone economy, worth a remarkable 3,092 trillion standardized units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 242,777 standardized units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Slackers at work are told to "crack on with it", increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime is totally unknown. Glurponia's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Homestuck.

Glurponia is ranked 3,763rd in the world and 148th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 194 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
