The Protectorate of British The Souttsool is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 5.199 billion British The Souttsoolians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.7%.

The all-consuming British The Souttsoolian economy, worth 557 trillion Latinums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,138 Latinums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 460,441 per year while the poor average 15,931, a ratio of 28.9 to 1.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across British The Souttsool, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British The Souttsool's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

British The Souttsool is ranked 38,159^th in the world and 2,374^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 56.81 kickbacks per hour.
