The Empire of Gladian Imperium is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.92 billion Gladians 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 Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The Gladian economy, worth 210 trillion Chits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,782 Chits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gladian Imperium's national animal is the Ixichus, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gladian Imperium is ranked 80,086^th in the world and 3,527^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 90.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
