Somethings I would like to sort out later

Currency

The currency of Gloobertopia is the Gloobertopian Buck with an exchange rate of 1 USD to 300,000 Gilbertopian bucks. The only note divisions are in 0.1 bucks, 0.5 bucks or 1 buck.
Inflation is so great in Gloobertopia (600,000,000,000%) that the Gloobertopians recycle the paper notes that they get, because the recycled material is usually worth more than the note itself. As a result, jails in Gloobertopia fill up within hours because of all the people found guilty of destroying legal tender.

The foreign reserve currency of Gloobertopia is the Zimbabwean dollar, which suffers considerably less inflation than Gloobertopia. One Gloobertopian buck at this very moment is worth 0.8 Zimbabwean dollars.

Political freedom
Chickens are freer than the Gloobertopians there.

National Religion
Gloomunster worship, that's final! All others are persecuted.
Gloomunster is one of the most bloodthirsty religions in Western Ameepo. Characteristics of this religion is nihilism, the abstinence from eating cheese on a Monday and never insulting the great Gloomunster.

As of 2nd March 09, Gloobertopia is now a circular country. That means that we discourage the worship of squares. "What the hell is the difference between "circular" and "secular" anyway?"
asks Gloobertopian minister of religion, Jarod von Rumstedt.
Tax rate
80% coz we feel like it.
Previously, the formula for calculating the taxes due per citizen was simple

(Income - GB$100,000) *80% * no. of limbs = taxes due

The reasoning was so that amputees could get away with a 20% tax break if they had less one arm or leg.

This encouraged Gloobertopians to evade tax via self-amputation. So, in a bid to increase government revenue, this new formula was installed:

(Income -GB$100,000)*80%*no. of heads = taxes due.

In order to make up for all the losses in government revenue last year, the proposal to tax dead people was accepted and executed.

Technology

Gloobertopians are a highly advanced race with 'kewl' technology. Technology that utilises kewlness as a power source.<- a form of chemical energy by the way.
Kewlnergy is obtained in crystal form and found in the kewlness mines in the kewl mountains in the state of Solid.
The potency of stored kewl crystal energy is estimated to be 1 gram of kewl crystal = 700 unit energys*

The crystal comes in a pure form and does not require purification. Despite the potency of Kewlness crystals, it happens to be extremely stable- but a mild jolt of electritcity can break it down to form energy, among other ways.
Kewlnergy had been found to be extremely efficient, as when the apparatus is right, most of the converted energy changes directly into electricity without having to converting into kinetic energy nor heat energy.

Kewl crystals have been known to have other strange properties that many still do not understand.

Previously, Gloobertopian Kewlguyz used Kewl crystals as a weapon, much like grenades. The central government of Gloobertopia has since banned the practice of Kewlcraft due to its destrcutiveness.

* according to the Gloobetopian measurement system. How this correlates to the imperial/metric system is still to be determined.
