The OMG it's the nation of Gladio II is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gladio with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.734 billion Gladiators are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Gladiator economy, worth a remarkable 5,209 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 229,144 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and builders across Gladio II are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gladio II's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gladion.
Gladio II is ranked 23,672nd in the world and 243rd in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 105.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
