The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelandia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Grey II with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.086 billion Great Britain and Irelandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Of tea. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Great Britain and Irelandian economy, worth 379 trillion British pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 122,814 British pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, graffiti graces every city's streets, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Britain and Irelandia's national animal is the Tea, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the divine tea and holiness.

Great Britain and Irelandia is ranked 24,100^th in the world and 28^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,448.21 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
