The Borderlands of Suthburg is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 7.587 billion Suthburgians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Suthburgian economy, worth 266 trillion silver marks a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,086 silver marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the tenet of free speech is held dear, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suthburg's national animal is the Noble Horse.

Suthburg is ranked 236,418^th in the world and 132^nd in ainulindale for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,087.15 Standard Monetary Units.
