The Crown of United Kingdom of Confederation is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Egmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.452 billion Confederateds are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rumburg. The average income tax rate is 39.5%.

The all-consuming Confederacy economy, worth 143 trillion Goldens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 98,607 Goldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

New government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Kingdom of Confederation's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Kingdom of Confederation is ranked 72,388^th in the world and 142^nd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 418.09 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
