The Canton of Glarus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.516 billion Glarners are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glarus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.6%.

The very strong Glarner economy, worth 206 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,744 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,453 per year while the poor average 14,905, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Glarus has designated Glarus as its capital city, feeling like a winner comes at a price, Leader has just been declared ruler of Glarus in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Glarus's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Glarus's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Glarus is ranked 128,160^th in the world and 3^rd in Swiss Confederation for Safest, scoring 73.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
