The ⓥⓔⓡⓨ ⓒⓞⓞⓛ ⓝⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ of Nicholas and Great Britain is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Nicholas Supreme Emperor of the Universe with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.67 billion Britolasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nicholas and Great British economy, worth a remarkable 3,610 trillion NichoPounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 284,966 NichoPounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

"Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Nicholas Supreme Emperor of the Universe's stash", every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, and toothpaste is a mealtime delicacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nicholas and Great Britain's national animal is the Meowl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nicholasism.

Nicholas and Great Britain is ranked 309,746^th in the world and 4,168^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring -32 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
