The Republic of Grand Britaria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Christopher Laurent with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, humorless population of 33.073 billion Britarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illirea. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Britarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,927 trillion Sovereigns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,239 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Britaria's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grand Britaria is ranked 7,268^th in the world and 2^nd in Austritaria for Highest Poor Incomes, with 142,876.3 Standard Monetary Units.
