The Republic of MARTINI GLASS is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.633 billion MARTINI GLASSians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong MARTINI GLASSian economy, worth 67.1 trillion shards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 41,067 shards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 264,682 per year while the poor average 2,574, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. MARTINI GLASS's national animal is the glass shark, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

MARTINI GLASS is ranked 257,383^rd in the world and 9,610^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 16.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
