The United Kingdom of Roger ap Gwilliam is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.405 billion Roger ap Gwilliamians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Roger ap Gwilliamian economy, worth 94.6 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,339 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 319,505 per year while the poor average 8,375, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Roger ap Gwilliam's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Roger ap Gwilliam is ranked 226,111th in the world and 1,033rd in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 344.56 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
