The Sernetian Governorate of Subaltion is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Subaltion Council with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 3.005 billion Subaltionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subaltisen. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Subaltionian economy, worth 85.2 trillion Metrons a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,344 Metrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, and dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Subaltion's national animal is the Subaltionian Canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anti-Islamist Sunni Islam.

Subaltion is ranked 87,026^th in the world and 5^th in Urseom for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
