The United Kingdom of Las Costas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Rosalinda with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.157 billion Costeros enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestial. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Costero economy, worth 74.8 trillion Montoyas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,646 Montoyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Las Costas's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Las Costas is ranked 168,966^th in the world and 24^th in The Universal Federation for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 499.17 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
