The District of Glenrose is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 39.101 billion townfolks enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Glenrosean economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,941 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Glenrose has found 1 easter egg). Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Glenrose's national animal is the bovina.

Glenrose is ranked 8,645^th in the world and 1^st in Kingston for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,991.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
