The Impervious Patriarchy of Subterrania is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Angelo Bursitis with a fair hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.131 billion Terranians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blessingdale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Subterranian economy, worth a remarkable 2,278 trillion uboes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 249,500 uboes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,095,729 per year while the poor average 35,721, a ratio of 30.7 to 1.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Subterrania's national animal is the churokee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mendulio.

Subterrania is ranked 266,143^rd in the world and 4^th in Aureola for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
