The Most Ancient and Noble House of Lancaster of Wessex is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Duke Lancaster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.234 billion Lancastrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ancestral Estate Capital Region. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lancaster of Wessexian economy, worth an astonishing 12,764 trillion Royal Crown Sterlings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,814 Royal Crown Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Halberds are common 18th birthday presents, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime is totally unknown. Lancaster of Wessex's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is ceremonially Wessex Anglicanism.

Lancaster of Wessex is ranked 1,192^nd in the world and 1^st in House of Lancaster of Wessex for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 23,259.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
