The Kingdom of Britcan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Matthew II with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 24.962 billion Britcanis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lontwa. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Britcani economy, worth a remarkable 6,621 trillion Pounars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 265,259 Pounars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime is totally unknown. Britcan's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Britcan is ranked 7,968^th in the world and 7^th in The Commonwealth Society for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
