The People's Republic of Socialist New Britain is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its digital currency, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 606 million Socialist New-Brits are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London 2. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Socialist New-Brit economy, worth 17.0 trillion BritCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 28,052 BritCoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist New Britain's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist New Britain is ranked 31,663^rd in the world and 184^th in The Leftist Assembly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.04 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
