The Vast Paradise of Glorios is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Joble Javlin with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.249 billion Gloriosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daelus. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gloriosian economy, worth 477 trillion Blarts a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,919 Blarts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the Gloriosian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Gloriosians marry themselves', and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Glorios's national animal is the Biting Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ferrism.

Glorios is ranked 11,329^th in the world and 1^st in The Combined Nations of Prosperland for Most Developed, scoring 89.87 on the Human Development Index.
