The Armed Republic of Globustercoris is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16 million Rusticites 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Globustercorisian economy, worth 448 billion Nummustultis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Information Technology. Average income is 27,976 Nummustultis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Globustercorisian language, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Globustercoris's national animal is the Susturpusian Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Globustercoris is ranked 175,195^th in the world and 156^th in Eladria for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,715.49 Standard Monetary Units.
