The Monarchy of Ruling Now is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Elizabeth with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.537 billion Brits 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth 692 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,024 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Ruling Now's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruling Now's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Ruling Now is ranked 307,810^th in the world and 8^th in Green Hell for Highest Drug Use, scoring 12.63 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
