The Slaypublic of Gliesetonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Evan Pickering with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 10.946 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 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gliesetonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,587 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 236,366 Gliens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, Sir Evan Pickering is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime is totally unknown. Gliesetonia's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gliesetonia is ranked 45,615^th in the world and 287^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 29.48 flags saluted per person per day.
