The Constitutional Monarchy of Great Britistan is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, avant-garde cinema, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.181 billion Britistanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilford. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Britistani economy, worth 83.4 trillion BeastBucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 70,596 BeastBucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Leader, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and the comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Britistan's national animal is the Beluga, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Great Britistan is ranked 24,296th in the world and 1,221st in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 18,883.92 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
