The State of Glenmeadow is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 31.782 billion Glenmeadowians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and International Aid. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Glenmeadowian economy, worth 847 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 26,672 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-betale treacle machine, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph the Governor, standing on a chair to reach a top shelf is seen as evidence of narcissistic personality disorder, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glenmeadow's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Glenmeadow is ranked 94,129^th in the world and 2^nd in Mongolia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
