The Borderlands of Glaciertop is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Lord-Baron with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 4.267 billion Glaciertopians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Glaciertop. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse Glaciertopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion Yeti Toenails a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 239,453 Yeti Toenails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The people have taken "Hail The Lord-Baron" as an invitation to lob rocks, pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, visitors to the famed rainforests are instead taken to vast furniture factories, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Glaciertop's national animal is the Yeti, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yetism.

Glaciertop is ranked 9,916^th in the world and 1^st in Santas Workshop for Highest Poor Incomes, with 125,352.52 Standard Monetary Units.
