The London Borough of Southall is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Empress Joana with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning little owl population. The democratic population of 19.188 billion Southallians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southall. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Southallian economy, worth 525 trillion Minoan tala a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,399 Minoan tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southall's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hinduism and Sikhism.

Southall is ranked 185,730^th in the world and 2^nd in Hinduism for Most Avoided, scoring 1.8 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
