The Royal Republic of Southglory is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lawrence Southglory with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.891 billion Southglorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Capital District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Southgloryian economy, worth 583 trillion Currencs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,086 Currencs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 585,591 per year while the poor average 7,756, a ratio of 75.5 to 1.

Teens reminisce about when birthdays weren't celebrated with a cool glass of cabbage juice and a slice of corn-cream topped millet cake, exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Southglory at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southglory's national animal is the Anima, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jakaraikyo.

Southglory is ranked 156,921^st in the world and 7^th in Sunny Rocks for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 725.69 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
