The Commonwealth of Glen-Rhodes is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sonja Katarina Balasevic with an even hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.484 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Port. The average income tax rate is 58%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glen-Rhodes's national animal is the Mute Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Humanism, and its currency is the Glen-Rhodes Dollar.

Glen-Rhodes is ranked 9th in Eastern Islands of Dharma and 7,862nd in the world for Happiest Citizens, scoring 11 on the Relative Cheerfulness Rating.
