The Beggar's Banquet of Union Jack Flash is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 38.264 billion Union Jack Flashians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Industry, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Union Jack Flashian economy, worth a remarkable 1,699 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,421 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is cleaning up after a national night of celebration left most people with headaches and dim memories, sex changes are routinely performed at Union Jack Flash's hospitals, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and the government is spending millions to provide full health care for all citizens. Crime is almost non-existent. Union Jack Flash's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Union Jack Flash is ranked 177,622^nd in the world and 10^th in GREAT Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -69.28 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
