The Grand And United Kingdom of Lancenshire is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Right Honorable PM Jacob Phillips with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.388 billion Lancerians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yorkenshire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lancerian economy, worth 322 trillion Ⱡancerian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,846 Ⱡancerian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Right Honorable PM Jacob Phillips steals from the rich and gives to the needy, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lancenshire's national animal is the Lancerian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lancerian Roman Catholicism.

Lancenshire is ranked 13,366th in the world and 39th in The Western Isles for Nicest Citizens, with 28.11 average smiles per day.
