The Imperial Republic of Britanania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Maximilian with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.486 billion Imperials are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolis Orbis. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 4,862 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,205 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, oracles predict landslide victories for Emperor Maximilian for the next 50 years, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Britanania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Britanania is ranked 299,779^th in the world and 1^st in League of Allied States for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -311.51 on the Hayek Index.
