The United Kingdom of Gerald Flood is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kamelion with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.447 billion Kamelions 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kamelion economy, worth 273 trillion pounds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,280 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, the School of Hard Knocks is receiving record application numbers., the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty", and ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Kamelion pirates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gerald Flood's national animal is the raston warrior robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gerald Flood is ranked 41,454^th in the world and 37^th in The Companions for Largest Black Market, with 27.3 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
