The Republic of Glaggary Glaggleland is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 227 million Glaggary Glagglelanders 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 13.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Glaggary Glagglelandian economy, worth 14.6 trillion Glaggles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,475 Glaggles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Glaggary Glaggleland's national animal is the Iowa Speciment.

Glaggary Glaggleland is ranked 245,244^th in the world and 14^th in Iowa for Largest Populations, with 227 million capita.
