The Glimanyian Emirates of Glimba is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Simon Says with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.637 billion Glimbans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agibli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Glimban economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,797 rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,666 per year while the poor average 7,829, a ratio of 70.0 to 1.

The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, all that glitters is Simon Says's toilet, Glimbans caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glimba's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nihilistic Marenatrism.

Glimba is ranked 316,009^th in the world and 74^th in The Dudlands for Nicest Citizens, with 0.51 average smiles per day.
