The URA Puppet State of Sublimity is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.477 billion Sublimes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The strong Sublime economy, worth 136 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,287 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and chocolate in Sublimity has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sublimity's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sublimity is ranked 260,135th in the world and 18th in The Great Storm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
