The Empire of Glorius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.384 billion Gloriusians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Gloriusian economy, worth a remarkable 3,507 trillion Glories a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 337,777 Glories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, pro-democracy regime change has been avoided, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glorius's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Glorius is ranked 272,960th in the world and 12,785th in The North Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.24 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
