The United Kingdom of Canovia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Elizabeth II with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.885 billion British have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth a remarkable 3,041 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,158 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully', foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on British selfishness, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canovia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of England.

Canovia is ranked 9,428^th in the world and 24^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 30,118.68 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
