The Crown Colony of British Okapiland is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.383 billion British Okapilanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The strong British Okapilandic economy, worth 143 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,114 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 171,378 per year while the poor average 16,814, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. British Okapiland's national animal is the okapi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

British Okapiland is ranked 159,488th in the world and 1st in Central Africa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,281.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
