The Royal Republic of Southglory is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.032 billion Southglorians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Capital District. The average income tax rate is 55.5%.

The thriving Southgloryian economy, worth 82.5 trillion Currencs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,928 Currencs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Southglory in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southglory's national animal is the Anima, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Southglory is ranked 24,242^nd in the world and 1^st in Sutherlands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 102.95 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
