The Incorporated States of John Glenn is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.309 billion John Glennians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.5%.

The John Glennian economy, worth 191 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 36,024 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Glenn's national animal is the Kitsune.

John Glenn is ranked 143,133^rd in the world and 2^nd in Watersia for Largest Black Market, with 1.27 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
