The Empire of GGlands is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 40 million GGlandsians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.5%.

The strong GGlandsian economy, worth 2.08 trillion Peoples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,998 Peoples , but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,856 per year while the poor average 4,346, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

Recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom, and the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. GGlands's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GGlands is ranked 193,111^th in the world and 61^st in Waifu for Safest, scoring 46.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
