The Federation of Gliese Minor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by K'haeth Seii with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.024 billion Gliese Minorians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gliese 581d. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gliese Minorian economy, worth 849 trillion nasarites a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,886 nasarites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Gliese Minorian democracy, belief that K'haeth Seii is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, and the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards. Crime is totally unknown. Gliese Minor's national animal is the tassanos, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Airgead.

Gliese Minor is ranked 7,428^th in the world and 394^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 107.62 quips per hour.
