The Holy of Gloriton is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Elvira Nerium with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.807 billion Gloritonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kore. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The all-consuming Gloritonian economy, worth 905 trillion credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,791 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and posing for pictures is an integral part of military training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gloriton's national animal is the rat bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the all-consuming void.

Gloriton is ranked 156,310th in the world and 3,290th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 138.49315441988 days.
