The Custodial Union of Ark Britannica Enclave of Thule is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Custodian Dilanius Evanii XVI with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.711 billion Upholders of the Ark 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress Britannica. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Thulean economy, worth a remarkable 2,988 trillion Arkphraxes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 203,162 Arkphraxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The monarch frequently needs protecting from misfiring protection, the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, and if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Ark Britannica Enclave of Thule. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ark Britannica Enclave of Thule's national animal is the Britannican Sheep Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Ark Britannica Enclave of Thule is ranked 257,410th in the world and 90th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -176.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
