The Federal Republic of Glaswegistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 32.169 billion Glaswegistani's are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Social Policy, Education, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Glasgow. The average income tax rate is 83.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Glaswegistani economy, worth a remarkable 4,670 trillion Shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 145,190 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and The Party is the self-declared God of all Glaswegistan. Crime is totally unknown. Glaswegistan's national animal is the Mammoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Glaswegistan is ranked 199,895^th in the world and 10,622^nd in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 359.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
