The United Kingdom of New Cordyceps is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Keir Starmer MP with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, hatred of cheese, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.981 billion Brits live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth 541 trillion Quid a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 136,110 Quid, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, Keir Starmer MP's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and the best defense is a good fence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Cordyceps's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Cordyceps is ranked 274,605^th in the world and 2,962^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 56.6 billion Standard Monetary Units.
