United Kingdom

1 Conversation

Commonly known as the 51st State of the United States and a member of the Anglo-American alliance currently dictating to the rest of the world it's future. It's people are a diverse group, some still living in feudal times while others are forward looking. Famous United Kingdomers include it's first female prime minister (U$ governor) Margaret Thatcher who in 1979 showed that within ten years it is quite possible to destroy a hundred years of culture before implementing what became known as "care in the community" a kind of insurance policy for her after the country woke up to the fact that greed isn't good and kicked her out (Rumours that her and Reagan are both suffering from the 80's disease of "forget the past and have no conscience" have yet to be validated, though Reagan does swear he was never president and Thatcher claims to have helped the country somehow) The Province is headed by what was called in the history books "a queen", not much is available for the functions of said position but she stands as a shining example of what life on state benefits can do for longevity.The exam for the post is notoriously difficult in fact her present heir has been studying for the position for over fifty years and is still is not qualified to pose for coinage or stamps. The UK is blessed with beautiful countryside and has many famous buildings including the selafield "science never sleeps" tourist extravaganza where each week people buy tickets known as "the lottery" to guess the number of acres of cumbria that will be destroyed by the next fire there. Sport is a great tradition there and the UKers have created some of the best known games, shove half-penny, Moris Dancing and football to name but a few, the UKers never excel at these game however yet take great pride is knowing they invented them. Coversation is never at and end with a UKer and they excel at meteorology which is a compulsary subject at school from age 2 months. The country has an astounding military history allowing them to single handedly win two world wars by hidng in tin cans laid side ways, urinating on invaders legs and sniffing their behinds; commonly known as the bull-dog spirit (not to be confused with the dunkirk spirit which is the UKers ability to take pride in running away). The UK is well known as a multicultural society and this is shown with the average UKers command of many languages, including english spoken in many foreign accents coupled with mass gesticulation.
