The Dictatorship of Greater Poundland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mehdi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.083 billion Poundlanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Poundlanian economy, worth 131 trillion British Pound Sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 121,081 British Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Poundland's national animal is the £1 Mug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Unreligous.

Greater Poundland is ranked 20,382^nd in the world and 124^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 99.11 kickbacks per hour.
