The Neverending Battle of Superman- is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 45.651 billion Superman-ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Superman-ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,193 trillion liberties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 26,151 liberties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, extreme political groups are outlawed, billions of libertys are being poured into a space program, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Superman-'s national animal is the kryptonian dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Superman- is ranked 89,266^th in the world and 1^st in Metropolis for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,800.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
