The United Kingdom of Triumphiam is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Aldous Luxley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.962 billion Triumphers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxa City. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Triumphiam economy, worth 723 trillion Luxes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,594 Luxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Triumphiam, and in a baffling press conference Aldous Luxley proudly dismantled a broken door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triumphiam's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Triumphiam is ranked 6,613th in the world and 165th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
