The Fish Kingdom of Glamorous is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Missy with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.218 billion Glamorousians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorgeous. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Glamorousian economy, worth 322 trillion Glamorous Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 100,183 Glamorous Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, nature finds a way despite the government's best efforts, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Glamorous, and foreign entanglements are getting spicy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glamorous's national animal is the Poodle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Adelian.

Glamorous is ranked 15,739^th in the world and 1^st in Pilot for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 5,422.72 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
