The United Kingdom of Ajend is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 394 million Ajendians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The Ajendian economy, worth 21.0 trillion Ajend Reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,236 Ajend Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Ajend Real mansions, Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, and tourists call Ajendian beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ajend's national animal is the Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ajend is ranked 147,788^th in the world and 4^th in Ideal for Largest Governments, scoring 12.12 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
