The Federal Democratic Republic of Glycerias is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Armenti the Founder with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.309 billion Glycerians 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 Welfare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elef Theria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The thriving Glycerian economy, worth 86.3 trillion Varns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,937 Varns, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

All gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glycerias's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Glycerias is ranked 245,981^st in the world and 3^rd in Adairidae for Most Primitive, scoring -108.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
