The Republic of The Spider Brigades is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 312 million Spider Brigadesians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The thriving Spider Brigadesian economy, worth 18.1 trillion flies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,157 flies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,859 per year while the poor average 11,862, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Spider Brigades's national animal is the fly.

The Spider Brigades is ranked 61,614^th in the world and 2,930^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 30.39 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
