The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of British Bharat is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Yrexi Avani with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.56 billion Abri are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Abri economy, worth 898 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 196,934 Candy Cane Gold Bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,777,179 per year while the poor average 2,656, a ratio of 669 to 1.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, calling Yrexi Avani a tyrant is seen as the ultimate compliment, and crimes are difficult to stop as most of the police force is stuck in traffic. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem. British Bharat's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

British Bharat is ranked 21,199th in the world and 6th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 113.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
