The Fish Kingdom of Glamorous is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Missy with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.325 billion Glamorousians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorgeous. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Glamorousian economy, worth 334 trillion Glamorous Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,371 Glamorous Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Protest songs are the nation's de facto anthems, anyone can get ahead in life if they want to, rotary phones are considered cutting-edge technology, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glamorous's national animal is the Poodle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Adelian.

Glamorous is ranked 59,152^nd in the world and 2^nd in Pilot for Longest Average Lifespans, with 81.12 years.
