The Best of GLIII is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by your mom with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.462 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coolville. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Gambling and Book Publishing.
Much of GLIII's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. GLIII's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the coin.
GLIII is ranked 1st in The Corps and 92,621st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -141 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
