The Democratic Republic of --Spatula-- is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.775 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, there are no minimum wage laws, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. --Spatula--'s national animal is the burger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the splat.

--Spatula-- is ranked 1st in Troop of Eagle Scouts and 3,745th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 69 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
