“For glory, for empire, and for emperior”

The Empire of Glorius is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 14.023 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gloriusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,176 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 297,828 Glories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, auditors are gutting every governmental department, and hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers. 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 1,424^th in the world and 64^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 157.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
