The United Confederation of Engliscya is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by High Administrator with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and deadly medical pandemics. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.999 billion Engliscyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stratov-Micormich Estate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Engliscyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,336 trillion Temps a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,008 Temps, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 695,742 per year while the poor average 37,272, a ratio of 18.7 to 1.

Death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Engliscya's national animal is the Confriedsadler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Cult of Nationalist Conformity.

Engliscya is ranked 3,520^th in the world and 1^st in Angels Encarmine for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 12,013.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
