The People's United Kingdom of New Cordyceps is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chief Executive Carrie Lam with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 2.388 billion Britons enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsim Sha Tsui 尖沙咀. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth 291 trillion Quid a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 121,884 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

NC-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, interest in globalism never flags, organ donation is compulsory, and an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Cordyceps's national animal is the British Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Cordyceps is ranked 3,278^th in the world and 159^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
