The Empire of Sgt Major Williams is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King George VI with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 25.536 billion Sgt Major Williamsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardiff. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.7%.

The very strong Sgt Major Williamsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,727 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 67,661 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 212,515 per year while the poor average 16,494, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Cardiff make great practice for foreign snipers, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sgt Major Williams's national animal is the bulldog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is square bashing.

Sgt Major Williams is ranked 27,070^th in the world and 4^th in The Lexicon for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 982 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
