The Crown Colony of British Ameriupol is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.967 billion British Ameriupolitans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.4%.

The powerhouse British Ameriupolite economy, worth 135 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,741 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,478 per year while the poor average 19,023, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Students do more community service than homework, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, and military barracks resemble five-star hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Ameriupol's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

British Ameriupol is ranked 278,533^rd in the world and 5^th in Ameriupol for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
