The Community of Glitterlandia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 752 million Glitterlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alliur. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Glitterlandian economy, worth 15.7 trillion Sequins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,905 Sequins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", Glitterlandia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glitterlandia's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Glitterlandia is ranked 138,694th in the world and 3,149th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 984.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
