The Subarctic People's Republic of Subarctia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 28.459 billion Subarctians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Subarctian economy, worth a remarkable 1,107 trillion platinum saars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,931 platinum saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, people talk about things being better when men were men, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is relatively low. Subarctia's national animal is the subarcticat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Subarctia is ranked 252,555^th in the world and 11^th in Vortex for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,628.59 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
