The Bright and Shiny Republic of Glittering Green is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by The Council of Green with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.673 billion Greens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glittaire. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Green economy, worth 834 trillion Emeralds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 147,162 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, when their backs are against the walls Greens look out for gay men, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glittering Green's national animal is the Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Glittering Green is ranked 274,523^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Far Left for Largest Black Market, with 86.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
