The Republic of Spurt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical population of 21.157 billion Spurtians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 40.6%.

The Spurtian economy, worth 950 trillion Spurts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 44,903 Spurts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spurt's national animal is the Spurtster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spurt is ranked 171,566^th in the world and 3,967^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Armed, with 0.3 weapons per person.
