The Theocracy of British Matheo is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Ian Melnish with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.883 billion British Matheoans 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 tiny, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wessminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The frighteningly efficient British Matheoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,853 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 98,132 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 883,968 per year while the poor average 1,345, a ratio of 656 to 1.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, carefully-staged grief is displayed by King Ian Melnish after national disasters, and diabetics find the contents of their medications hard to stomach. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. British Matheo's national animal is the Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

British Matheo is ranked 322,777^th in the world and 106^th in matheo for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 5.32 Effective Tax Rate.
