The United Kingdom of OF Courscant is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sandy Woodward with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.622 billion Brits have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth a remarkable 4,155 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, 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 an amazing 481,954 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The World United Kingdom Games have been won again by OF Courscant as no other country cares enough to compete, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Prime Minister Sandy Woodward to progressive thinkers, and Brits believe the only thing that will make you happy is being unhappy with who you are. Crime is totally unknown. OF Courscant's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

OF Courscant is ranked 230,214^th in the world and 22^nd in The Vincence Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
