The Community of B U is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18 million British 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.5%.

The very strong British economy, worth 1.08 trillion Sterls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 59,744 Sterls, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. B U's national animal is the None, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

B U is ranked 88,035^th in the world and 87^th in The Western Isles for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,098.06 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
