The United Kingdom of Galimencia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lord Kauvin with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.55 billion Galimencians 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 is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lownfolk. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Galimencian economy, worth 143 trillion Galimencian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,272 Galimencian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Minister Lord Kauvin has just been declared ruler of Galimencia in an international press conference, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, Christianity has been named as Galimencia's national religion, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Galimencia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galimencia's national animal is the Lion and its national religion is Christianity.

Galimencia is ranked 49,507^th in the world and 82^nd in Declansburg for Most Income Equality, scoring 60.68 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
