“My level 23 ASBO can totally pwn ur lvl25 penniless student”
Britain: The Videogame (commonly known as BTVG) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Britain: The Videogame takes place within the world of Great Britain, four years after the events at the conclusion of Jizzard's previous release, Britain III: The Unnecessary Throne. It is currently the world's most boring MMORPG in terms of content.
The first official expansion pack of the game, The Burning Tube Station, was released on January 16, 2007. jizzard announced a second expansion pack called The Wrath of Prince Charles, which was released on August 3, 2007. There is a new game due to be released in 2010, Modern Britain: Chavs, overpaid footballers, and smelly politicians, which is reumoured to have content to go round a mate's house and play video games, play as the queen or even Gordon Brown, and or do nothing to earn £100,000 a week.

Unaccounted Island

Classes

Each class has a set of unique abilities and talents, The lower class for example have the ability to spit on the elderly, yet are restricted from joining yacht clubs.
- The Lower Class or "Working Class" are by far the most common in the game making up around 60% of the population. A working class player may choose from a number of different sub classes including : The ASBO, a damage dealing class with no money or brain cells. The Big Brother Contestant is an attention seeking class who also has no brain cells, see Jade Goody. The chip shop owner is an obesity inducing class whose boring small talk and casual racism can vanquish even the most powerful hero.
- The Middle Class constitute around 30% of the games population. Middle class players are typically the most frustrated having neither the power and influence of the upper class nor the satisfying ignorance of poverty. The available classes are : Unsuccessful Writer - a depression inducing class, Bitter Middle Aged Teacher and Penniless Student
