The Republic of Glenndale is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 7 million Glenndaleans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Glenndalean economy, worth 215 billion American Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 30,766 American Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, and the fattest folk in Glenndale look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glenndale's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Glenndale is ranked 331,059th in the world and 91st in The Toastic Assembly for Largest Black Market, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
