The Heavy Cruiser of HMS York is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Captain BowShot118 Kyosson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.872 billion Sailors 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bridge. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Toeranan economy, worth 380 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,171 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one HMS York" at foreigners, aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', and political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS York's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Defenderismismism.

HMS York is ranked 46,550^th in the world and 1^st in AGoodRegionName for Highest Poor Incomes, with 58,066.91 Standard Monetary Units.
