The Federation of Glitch Zenith is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pumpkin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.633 billion Glitch Zenithians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ukhohburn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Glitch Zenithian economy, worth 248 trillion Strawberries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 53,588 Strawberries, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,967 per year while the poor average 13,216, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Glitch Zenith's national animal is the Wolvian, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Violetism.

Glitch Zenith is ranked 301,924^th in the world and 10^th in Federation of Galactic Empires for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
