Based on this website, Britain: What a State is a send-up of an entire way of life. From the unique British class system to pubs and our beloved transport network, every element of our society is brilliantly explained and illustrated in a series of wincingly accurate spoof official forms from the DoSS.
Think The Framley Examiner meets the entire output of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and you have Britain: What a State.

Government Response to Charles and Camilla's Wedding
The Department of Social Scrutiny wishes to extend its heart-felt congratulations to HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Honorary Professor of Cobwebs at the Thamesbank University of Anachronisms and Ms Camilla Parker-Bowles, Future Royal Sperm Receptacle and The Countess of Myopia on their forthcoming welding.
Furthermore, the Government as a whole would like to curtsy, present a bouquet of Dimblebies and roll around in the dust generated in the Royal Wake formed, as it is, by microscopic shavings of dead Regal Skin. Upon Ms Parker-Bowles change in circumstances, may we respectfully urge her to fill in the appropriate paperwork in order to entitle her to regular privilege and benefits, served up by a public force-fed on the horse manure of Royal Propaganda.
"Thank God: a book that's both clever and funny.
Deserves a place on the lap of every comedy fan in Britain."Charlie Brooker "If you wince at the word 'benchmark', this neat
parody could be just the thing to cheer you up."Sunday Telegraph

Do you have a horrifying tale of mean-spirited paper-pushing
bureaucracy at the hands of a company, council or government department? We'd
like to hear about it. [Tell us more]
