The Kingdom of The Common Kingdom is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cabo De Common with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.286 billion Common Folks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Healthcare, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commoneiro. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Common Kingdomian economy, worth 922 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,516 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, cops with assault weaponry are forcing their way into private homes to search for terrorists, there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, and there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Common Kingdom's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cabe De Meh.

The Common Kingdom is ranked 12,068th in the world and 3rd in The Empires And Republics Of Power for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,243.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
