The Combine of Supolinia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Grand Council of Ascension with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.854 billion Supolinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nazul. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Supolinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,296 trillion Moyikas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 233,096 Moyikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, and many politicians are in rehab for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Supolinia's national animal is the Suplinian Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Transcendence.

Supolinia is ranked 280,561^st in the world and 232^nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,519.61 Standard Monetary Units.
