The OMG it's the nation of Gladio II is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gladio with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.465 billion Gladiators are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladion. The average income tax rate is 60.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Gladiator economy, worth a remarkable 5,104 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,198 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Gladio II's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gladion.
