The United Kingdom of Rumcofa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by James Bennett with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.439 billion Rumcofans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Runcorn. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rumcofan economy, worth 95.0 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,034 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A convict's trip to prison can be longer than the sentence, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and a government program is underway to revitalize Rumcofa's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rumcofa's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Rumcofa is ranked 232,717^th in the world and 5,250^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
