The Fiefdom of Limey George is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by George with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.959 billion Limeys are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgstead. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Lime economy, worth 538 trillion rinds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 77,428 rinds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,707 per year while the poor average 19,389, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

A chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Limey George's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Limeism.

Limey George is ranked 154,792nd in the world and 25th in Esportiva for Most Primitive, scoring -51.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
