The Empire of Subakori is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.026 billion Subakorishi are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Subakorishi economy, worth 78.1 trillion rounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,108 rounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government covers the basic health care of its citizens, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Subakori's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Subakori is ranked 35,322^nd in the world and 54^th in Europeia for Largest Black Market, with 52.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
