The Empire of Glorius is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 13.921 billion Gloriusians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gloriusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,285 trillion Glories a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 307,846 Glories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, the new Gloriusian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Glorius City Snakes against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Glorius's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Glorius is ranked 10,197th in the world and 202nd in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,334.1555200284 days.
