The United Kingdom of Raphype is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by High Sovereign Ulfric IX Fenrisson with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.089 billion Kongeriget Fenrirs are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havnbjerg. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Raphypean economy, worth 118 trillion Gecders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,502 Gecders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Raphype as a reminder of their "special relationship", Kongeriget Fenrirs firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and state-run museums boast about their anti-Raphypean art collections. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Raphype's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fenir.

Raphype is ranked 32,119th in the world and 5th in Arctic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,032.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
