The Random Travellers of Globetrotter is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Wind with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 34.609 billion Globetrotterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of nomansland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.

The all-consuming Globetrotterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,667 trillion Miles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,964 Miles, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, retirement apartments house giggling grannies who delightedly watch blank TVs all day long, Globetrotterians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and the nation's healthcare system has taken a "survival of the fittest" approach in administering care. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Globetrotter's national animal is the Migrating Geese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Globetrotter is ranked 27,463^rd in the world and 1^st in Breakfast at Milliways for Smartest Citizens, with 58.9 quips per hour.
