The Federal Democratic Republic of Glycerias is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Armenti the Founder with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.339 billion Glycerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elef Theria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.4%.

The thriving Glycerian economy, worth 86.8 trillion Varns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,832 Varns, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and baby monitors have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glycerias's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Glycerias is ranked 246,300^th in the world and 3^rd in Adairidae for Nudest, with 73.75 cheeks per square mile.
