The Commonwealth of British Alaska is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Howland Barker with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.33 billion Alaskans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Archangel. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alaskan economy, worth 659 trillion Alaskan Rès a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,390 Alaskan Rès, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, the government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and edutainment video games are taking British Alaska's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Alaska's national animal is the Kodiak Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

British Alaska is ranked 301,598^th in the world and 119^th in Empire of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -312.39 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
