The Grand And United Kingdom of Lancenshire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Right Honorable PM Jacob Phillips with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.499 billion Lancerians 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 Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yorkenshire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lancerian economy, worth 337 trillion Ⱡancerian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,095 Ⱡancerian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lancenshire's national animal is the Lancerian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lancerian Roman Catholicism.

Lancenshire is ranked 181,177^th in the world and 131^st in The Western Isles for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
