The Supranational Confederation of Subhurbia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Sovereign Adom with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.995 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 1,325 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 261,933rd in the world and 108th in Spiritus for Most Patriotic, with 1.16 flags saluted per person per day.
