The Local Constabulary of Nineteenth Century Police is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eugene Tackleberry with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.586 billion Nineteenth Century Police Officers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Yard. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The thriving Police economy, worth 244 trillion Shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 94,593 Shillings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,671 per year while the poor average 24,766, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, gang members supplement their income by teaching at elementary schools, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nineteenth Century Police's national animal is the Constable, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aggressive Defence.
