The Glorious British Monarch of --Great Britain-- is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 15.782 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

Crime is a problem. --Great Britain--'s national animal is the Lion and the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Pound Sterling.

--Great Britain-- is ranked 4th in Great Britain and Ireland and 13,612th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
