The Empire of Glangia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Glang with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.884 billion Glangians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Glangian economy, worth 777 trillion Glandes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,081 Glandes, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the Glangian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glangia's national animal is the Loro, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Glangiocrata.

Glangia is ranked 259,668^th in the world and 9,606^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 16.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
