The United Kingdom of Ras behindo-g is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.668 billion Ras behindo-gians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.8%.
The very strong Ras behindo-gian economy, worth 506 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,965 florins, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.
Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Ras behindo-g, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, only the wealthy vote, and surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ras behindo-g's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ras behindo-g is ranked 252,805th in the world and 1,033rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
