The District of Glasque is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.267 billion Glasqueans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The powerhouse Glasquean economy, worth a remarkable 1,815 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 58,079 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,521 per year while the poor average 10,691, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the government is avowedly atheist, Glasque is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and Glasque has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Glasque's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Glasque is ranked 331,038^th in the world and 1^st in Glasque for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -8.94 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
