The Community of B12Deficiencey is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 36 million B12Deficienceyians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile B12Deficienceyian economy, worth 848 billion veganpounds 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 23,568 veganpounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
