The Empire of -Supev- is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 283 million Supervs 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.7%.

The very strong Supevian economy, worth 20.8 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,402 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and the army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. -Supev-'s national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

-Supev- is ranked 256,280^th in the world and 910^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -124.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
