The Kingric of Terra Britania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by James Osbourne with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.711 billion Englanders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient English economy, worth a remarkable 2,318 trillion Sterling Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 130,884 Sterling Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terra Britania's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christendom.
Terra Britania is ranked 283,685th in the world and 7th in Codex Ylvus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.31 average smiles per day.
