The Royal Monarchy of Glowing Diamonds is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Dweloe with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 15.501 billion Glowing Diamondsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalyst City. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Glowing Diamondsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,243 trillion boonbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 209,270 boonbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government policy is dictated by Protestant Christianity, citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glowing Diamonds's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Glowing Diamonds is ranked 25,920th in the world and 917th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 15.5 billion capita.
