The Sublime Republic of The Upper Cilikar is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Achinan Bavghula with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.881 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 26.5%.

The all-consuming Upper Cilikarian economy, worth 272 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 94,380 akhanals, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, voting is voluntary, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, and the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned. 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 7,571^st in the world and 73^rd in Europeia for Most Conservative, scoring 91.9 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
