The United Kingdom of The British Socialist Republics is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 160 million British are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped British economy, worth 6.92 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,276 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", there's nothing more British than revanchism, and mathematicians are hated by children across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The British Socialist Republics's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The British Socialist Republics is ranked 319,961^st in the world and 118^th in Sancturia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -86.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
