The Supranational Confederation of Subhurbia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Sovereign Adom with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 18.67 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 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Subhurbian economy, worth a remarkable 1,767 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 94,695 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trained plumber-burglars will clean out your blocked pipes and your jewellery boxes, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Subhurbia's national animal is the helix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Omnism.

Subhurbia is ranked 94,125th in the world and 44th in Spiritus for Most Influential, scoring 739 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
