The United Kingdom of Swizzlegion 53 is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 255 million Swizzlegion 53ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Swizzlegion 53ian economy, worth 1.52 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 5,957 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swizzlegion 53's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Swizzlegion 53 is ranked 251,114th in the world and 7,626th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 501.18 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
