The Her Majesty's Loyal Court of Royal House of Windsor is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by HRH Queen Elizabeth II with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.923 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is totally unknown. Royal House of Windsor's national animal is the great regal stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Church of England, and its currency is the Crown Royal.

Royal House of Windsor is ranked 519th in Galapagos and 85,734th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
