The United Kingdom of Imperial Britannia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.944 billion Britons are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 21.7%.

The very strong British economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 75,711 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make British mussels the biggest in Monarchist League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Imperial Britannia's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

Imperial Britannia is ranked 227,564^th in the world and 4^th in Monarchist League for Nicest Citizens, with 5.59 average smiles per day.
