The Kingdom of Queen exploding glass is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.745 billion Queen exploding glassians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Queen exploding glassian economy, worth 102 trillion Kromers 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 21,581 Kromers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, graffiti graces every city's streets, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Queen exploding glass's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Queen exploding glass is ranked 53,423^rd in the world and 1,252^nd in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 101.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
