The United Kingdom of HRH is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Royal Highness King D Aradan with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.003 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valalon. The average income tax rate is 26%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HRH's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the HRHDollar.

HRH is ranked 2,540th in the South Pacific and 70,706th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 103 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
