Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of King Britannia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Kong with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.718 billion King Britannians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingstown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.3%.

The King Britannian economy, worth 496 trillion King Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,949 King Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. King Britannia's national animal is the King Metropolis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is King Kong.

King Britannia is ranked 190,074^th in the world and 7^th in Imperial Federation of Great Redanien for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.43 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
