The Protectorate of Subsahara is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Possible Current Interim Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.13 billion Subsaharans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shanty City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Subsaharan economy, worth a remarkable 2,463 trillion shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,609 shillings, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military training in Subsahara emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, the full title of Hon Possible Current Interim Leader Vcte Mgve MF PSLM GCSE runs to several pages, and Possible Current Interim Leader often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Subsahara's national animal is the lion king, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ritual Christian animism.

Subsahara is ranked 17,336th in the world and 5th in Microtopia for Most Stationary, with 1,717.65638681032 days.
