The United Kingdom of Great Eilean is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen-Empress Gloriana III Brunay-Bonbry with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 9.233 billion Ellanmen 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 Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wyndham. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eileanic economy, worth 966 trillion farthings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,670 farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, Queen-Empress Gloriana III Brunay-Bonbry is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Eilean's national animal is the Eileanic Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Peronan Sancaritic Church.

Great Eilean is ranked 104,591^st in the world and 20^th in Confederacy of Allied States for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.36 kickbacks per hour.
