The OMG it's the nation of Gladio II is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gladio with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.018 billion Gladiators are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladion. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gladiator economy, worth a remarkable 5,602 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 233,253 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gladio II's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gladion.

Gladio II is ranked 20,938^th in the world and 49^th in NationStates for Most Authoritarian, with 2,993.77 milliStalins.
