The Holy Empire of Guanglin is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.36 billion Guanglinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Guanglinian economy, worth 127 trillion Jadeites a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,501 Jadeites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guanglin is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, only criminals carry guns, and beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guanglin's national animal is the Yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guanglin is ranked 6,108^th in the world and 9^th in Council of Asia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 94.45 Effective Tax Rate.
