The United Kingdom of Gorthania SSC is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 692 million SSC Soldier are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services.
