The Republic of Gliesetonia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 267 million Gliesetonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gliese City. The average income tax rate is 32.6%.

The all-consuming Gliesetonian economy, worth 24.8 trillion Gliese Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,036 Gliese Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Gliesetonia will pay them to stop, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, and Gliesetonia has designated Gliese City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gliesetonia's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gliesetonia is ranked 67,769^th in the world and 88^th in New Western Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,408.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
