The Fashionable Queendom of Glitz is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.617 billion Glitzians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Defense and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 10.4%.

The strong Glitzian economy, worth 258 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 30,016 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, a major religion has been named as Glitz's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Glitz in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Glitz's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Glitz is ranked 170,502^nd in the world and 2^nd in MHBs New Frontier for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
