The United Kingdom of Grossbritannien und Nordirland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Charles III and PM Rishi Sunak with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.612 billion British are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,221 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Grossbritannien und Nordirland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of England.

Grossbritannien und Nordirland is ranked 35,825^th in the world and 9^th in Christian Nations Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 193.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
