The Most Serene Republic of Glissbotia is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 287 million Glissbotians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Glissbotian economy, worth 21.4 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,503 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, an alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of Glissbotia City, and ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glissbotia's national animal is the housecat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Glissbotia is ranked 146,311^th in the world and 2,724^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,842.48 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
