The United Kingdom of Triumphiam is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aldous Luxley with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed population of 4.053 billion Triumphers 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, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxa City. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Triumphiam economy, worth 738 trillion Luxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 182,311 Luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff', theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triumphiam's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Triumphiam is ranked 56,834th in the world and 875th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 32.37 kickbacks per hour.
