Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Britannian Imperium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Alexander Leopold with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate population of 4.37 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pendragon . The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation’s borders, and teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Britannian Imperium's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the florin.

Britannian Imperium is ranked 64th in Hampshire and 90,003rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
