The Pretrak Dictatorship of Glasconia is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Kyaa Orisares Dertre with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 878 million Ulvaarese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Birch World. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulvaarese economy, worth 117 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 133,311 credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 799,151 per year while the poor average 10,081, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.

Glasconia Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, the leaders of Glasconia are given the nod by their predecessors, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glasconia's national animal is the Ulvaar Drakon.

Glasconia is ranked 77,051^st in the world and 36^th in Imperial World Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
