The Republic of Spear Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.622 billion Spear Islandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spear Islandian economy, worth 715 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,072 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Spear Islandian as 'your finger, you fool', livestock mutilations are on the rise, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Spear Island's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spear Island's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Spear Island is ranked 82,482^nd in the world and 304^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,073.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
