The Republic of Glacial Lake is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.149 billion Glacial Lakeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.8%.

The strong Glacial Lakean economy, worth 169 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 53,777 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Glacial Lake's national animal is the shoop.

Glacial Lake is ranked 231,228^th in the world and 4^th in Schorl for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 17.82 Effective Tax Rate.
