The Democratic Republic of Glenrothes is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.153 billion Glenrothesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Macedonia City. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Glenrothesian economy, worth 46.3 trillion Glenrothesian Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 40,129 Glenrothesian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, snitches get riches, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glenrothes's national animal is the Haggis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Glenrothes is ranked 257,615^th in the world and 318^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,391.99 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
