The United Kingdom of DiscoSpider is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 100 million DiscoSpiderians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant DiscoSpiderian economy, worth 1.04 trillion Buttered Noodleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 10,416 Buttered Noodleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, cars are banned, gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DiscoSpider's national animal is the Fievel the Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DiscoSpider is ranked 308,019^th in the world and 199^th in Wintreath for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
