The Republic of Garlobieltiobelliand is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.322 billion Garlobieltiobelliandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Garlobieltiobelliandian economy, worth 654 trillion shiny clink clinks 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 103,585 shiny clink clinks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garlobieltiobelliand's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Garlobieltiobelliand is ranked 22,016^th in the world and 544^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
