The United Kingdom of Great Britan and Northern Irelands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by John Williams with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.409 billion Britons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming British economy, worth 158 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,360 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, religious education is a new government priority, and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Britan and Northern Irelands's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Great Britan and Northern Irelands is ranked 51,425^th in the world and 530^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,820.34 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
