The Slaypublic of Gliesetonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Evan Pickering with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 10.878 billion Gliesetonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gliese City. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gliesetonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,571 trillion Gliens a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 236,413 Gliens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Gliesetonian citizenship in droves, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown. Gliesetonia's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gliesetonia is ranked 7,697^th in the world and 119^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,602.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
