The Kingdom of Parliamentary Undersecretary is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.668 billion Parliamentary Undersecretaryians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The thriving Parliamentary Undersecretaryian economy, worth 339 trillion papers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 72,704 papers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 247,527 per year while the poor average 15,734, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, organ donation is compulsory, and Parliamentary Undersecretaryians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Parliamentary Undersecretary's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Parliamentary Undersecretary is ranked 124,557^th in the world and 9^th in Conservative England for Most Patriotic, with 12.91 flags saluted per person per day.
