The May St Wood Pigeon Save Us of British Calradia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Winifred Halton with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.51 billion Calradians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhirim. The average income tax rate is 30.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient British Calradian economy, worth a remarkable 4,883 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 295,770 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

British Calradian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, clergy do their best to cover up their old tattoos, and a rusted hulk in Dhirim harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Corsair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Calradia's national animal is the Dhirim pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

British Calradia is ranked 331,492nd in the world and 211th in Corsair for Highest Drug Use, scoring 0.45 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
