The United Kingdom of Southmen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Anathema with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The humorless population of 21.631 billion Southmenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subterranea. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Southmenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,526 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,247 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one gossips with The Anathema during diplomatic summits, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, Subterranea University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southmen's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Southmen is ranked 15,500^th in the world and 821^st in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 88.33 on the Human Development Index.
