The -Death corps- of Gleeble is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by QWAVIR archmagos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.855 billion Gleeblians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hourus. The average income tax rate is 78.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Gleeblean economy, worth 464 trillion Stonks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 162,864 Stonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more Gleeblean than revanchism, young schoolchildren pledge allegiance to One Nation Under Bum Indivisible By Poo, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and caroling is considered a public disturbance. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gleeble's national animal is the Space whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cult of sacrifice.

Gleeble is ranked 295,059^th in the world and 7^th in Cools Established Barrier for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
