The Loose Confederation of Tierra Gloria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Unknown with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.037 billion Glorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Aurora. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tierra Glorian economy, worth 368 trillion Pasas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,136 Pasas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Tierra Gloria, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tierra Gloria's national animal is the Glorian Grouper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aurorism.

Tierra Gloria is ranked 286,372^nd in the world and 28^th in Coldonia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.52 kickbacks per hour.
