The United Kingdom of Royal Britania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 232 million Royal Britanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Royal Britanian economy, worth 15.5 trillion Pound Sterlings 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 66,925 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The world outside is only known of in folklore, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. 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. Royal Britania's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Royal Britania is ranked 317,073rd in the world and 120th in Empire of Great Britain for Smartest Citizens, with 12.26 quips per hour.
