The Holy Ever Loving Blue Eyes of Clobberin Time is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Ben Grimm the Ever Lovin Blue Eyed Thing with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.485 billion Grimms 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 government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baxter. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Grimm economy, worth 761 trillion Knuckles 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 72,666 Knuckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

In-cite-ment never happens at tea parties, Ben Grimm the Ever Lovin Blue Eyed Thing spends most weeknights picking up little nuisances from friends' houses, royal mothers accustomed to baby-talk assure the troops "we gweatly wespect your service; yes, we do", and Bambi has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clobberin Time's national animal is the Thing, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cosmic Ray Transformation.

Clobberin Time is ranked 143,544^th in the world and 4^th in Sourberry Fields for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 76.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
