The Republic of Glaze Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.507 billion Glaze Islandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Glaze Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,148 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,049 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glaze Island's national animal is the Sea Piper, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Glaze Island is ranked 53,480^th in the world and 250^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Largest Governments, scoring 21.79 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
