The Kingdom of Southbatten is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12.778 billion Southbattenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ADT Quentin. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Southbattenian economy, worth 758 trillion Lyres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,320 Lyres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, an Of Books and Stories Tourist Association survey has rated Southbatten #1 for number twos, supervisors in Southbatten commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southbatten's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Southbatten is ranked 53,310^th in the world and 1^st in Of Books and Stories for Fattest Citizens, with 13.49 Obesity Rate.
