The Colony of Surby is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning trout population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.226 billion Surbyians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The thriving Surbyian economy, worth 316 trillion districtas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 74,934 districtas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,409 per year while the poor average 16,776, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Surby's national animal is the trout, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Surby is ranked 140,524^th in the world and 2^nd in Yugoslavia for Most Patriotic, with 10.6 flags saluted per person per day.
