The United Kingdom of Twisted Duality is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 19.435 billion Twisted Dualityians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davidian. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Twisted Dualityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,719 trillion Pounds a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,450 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, treason is relative, and local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twisted Duality's national animal is the Duck Billed Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Twisted Duality is ranked 275,689^th in the world and 3,625^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
