The Democratic Republic of Spifflandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 45.559 billion Spifflandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The thriving Spifflandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,552 trillion spiffods a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 121,865 spiffods, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 659,609 per year while the poor average 11,640, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.

University graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and city sidewalks are crowded with overweight people. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spifflandia's national animal is the polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Spifflandia is ranked 294,151^st in the world and 12^th in PEEL for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -23.45 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
