The Federal Republic of Glassland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Glass with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 4.253 billion Glasslandians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Glass City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Glasslandian economy, worth 881 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,375 Doubloons, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The gravy train is chugging along on a new track, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Glassland, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glassland's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Glassland is ranked 6,790^th in the world and 161^st in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 92.93 on the Human Development Index.
