The May St Wood Pigeon Save Us of British Calradia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Governor Alford Salisbury with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.52 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhirim. The average income tax rate is 59.6%.

The frighteningly efficient British Calradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,354 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,763 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Political activists are routinely executed, several inches are being added to first class seating, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. 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.
