The Falklandian GB and I Citizen of British Renaissance is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 11.282 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled British Renaissance with a very polite populace, military funding has been stripped back, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Renaissance's national animal is the lumanito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lopine.

British Renaissance is ranked 11th in Great Britain and Ireland and 77,759th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
