The Supranational Confederation of Subhurbia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Sovereign Adom with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.925 billion Subhurbians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlas. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Subhurbian economy, worth a remarkable 1,319 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,732 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fat-shaming is now public policy, King Sovereign Adom's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, trained plumber-burglars will clean out your blocked pipes and your jewellery boxes, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Subhurbia's national animal is the Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Omnism.

Subhurbia is ranked 20,625^th in the world and 33^rd in Spiritus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,609.49 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
