The Dictatorship of Greater Poundland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mehdi with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.078 billion Poundlanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Poundlanian economy, worth 130 trillion British Pound Sterlings 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 121,049 British Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mehdi's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Poundland's national animal is the £1 Mug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Unreligous.

Greater Poundland is ranked 192,243^rd in the world and 1,187^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 49.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
