The United Kingdom of Futuo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arfur Daley with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 17.39 billion Futuoans 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fellatio City. The average income tax rate is 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Futuoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,756 trillion quid a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 216,011 quid, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, self-driving cars obey the road rules even during emergencies, and chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Futuo's national animal is the Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Futuo is ranked 8,456^th in the world and 146^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 442.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
