The Sublime Republic of The Upper Cilikar is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Achinan Bavghula with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.554 billion Upper Cilikaris are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agyata. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.4%.

The all-consuming Upper Cilikarian economy, worth 240 trillion akhanals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,347 akhanals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,828 per year while the poor average 26,546, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, voting is voluntary, and arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Upper Cilikar's national animal is the Agyata Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yaracilikari Faith.

The Upper Cilikar is ranked 133,572^nd in the world and 608^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,174.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
