The British Citizen of Onderkelkia2 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 35.965 billion Onderkelkia2ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The powerhouse Onderkelkia2ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,510 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,797 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,184 per year while the poor average 17,246, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onderkelkia2's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Onderkelkia2 is ranked 58,381^st in the world and 2^nd in Great Britain and Ireland for Most Corrupt Governments, with 31.2 kickbacks per hour.
