The United Kingdom of The-British-Isles is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Richard John Walter with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.31 billion Britons 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The The-British-Islesian economy, worth 116 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,278 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, commemoration of the Great Europe War costs almost as much as the war itself, travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, and the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The-British-Isles's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

The-British-Isles is ranked 201,932^nd in the world and 948^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
