The Sublime Republic of The Upper Cilikar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Achinan Bavghula with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.195 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 24.6%.

The all-consuming Upper Cilikarian economy, worth 197 trillion akhanals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 89,848 akhanals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 264,021 per year while the poor average 24,088, a ratio of 11.0 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 62,663^rd in the world and 197^th in Europeia for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 10.96 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
