The Monarchical Republic of Glacier Coast is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Royal President Lee Ico with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.986 billion Glacierinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu City. The average income tax rate is 49.7%.

The powerhouse Glacierinian economy, worth 615 trillion Glacies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,116 Glacies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Royal President Lee Ico has just been declared ruler of Glacier Coast in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glacier Coast's national animal is the Glacier Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Glacier Coast is ranked 105,441^st in the world and 3,681^st in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,607.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
