The Sultanate of Submetta is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Dashi al-Shalbib with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.67 billion Submettans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexus. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Submettan economy, worth a remarkable 1,725 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,686 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Submetta's national animal is the Barbary Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yellowism.

Submetta is ranked 21,082nd in the world and 11th in Aceon for Highest Average Incomes, with 161,686.94 Standard Monetary Units.
