The May St Wood Pigeon Save Us of British Calradia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Robert De Bolloil with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.672 billion Calradians 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 frighteningly efficient British Calradian economy, worth 438 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 164,235 Pound Sterlings, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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.
