The Interstellar Commonwealth of The United British Federation is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jordan Hassan with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.564 billion Britons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth 706 trillion Digital-Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,743 Digital-Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of The United British Federation's radio stations, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is totally unknown. The United British Federation's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The United British Federation is ranked 23,520^th in the world and 6^th in Gypsy Lands for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,838.29 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
