The United Kingdom of Banution is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 23 million Banutionians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Banutionian economy, worth 1.01 trillion ucups a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,106 ucups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Banution's national animal is the caleb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Banution is ranked 256,407^th in the world and 688^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
