The Principality of Sam Grande-Bretagne is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 133 million Bretagneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sam Grande-Bretagnean economy, worth 6.43 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,324 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sam Grande-Bretagne's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sam Grande-Bretagne is ranked 157,640^th in the world and 771^st in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 311.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
