The Glorious and United Kingdom of The Floor Kippers is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Quintus Lucius Atticus with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 20.799 billion Kipperians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bel-Gium. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Floor Kippersian economy, worth a remarkable 2,645 trillion Dollarpounds 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,216 Dollarpounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that The Floor Kippers will pay them to stop, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Floor Kippers's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Whovism.

The Floor Kippers is ranked 7,218^th in the world and 5^th in Realm of Unrestricted Science for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
