The United Kingdom of Triumphiam is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aldous Luxley with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 4.113 billion Triumphers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxa City. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Triumphiam economy, worth 735 trillion Luxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 178,867 Luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The practice of capital punishment proves divisive, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Triumphiam will pay them to stop, feeling like a winner comes at a price, and knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triumphiam's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Triumphiam is ranked 6,620th in the world and 145th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 494.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
