Overview • FactbookPeopleGovernmentEconomyTrendAnalysis

The Most Serene Republic of Spadestan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed population of 8.275 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spadestan City. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spadestan's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Spendme.

Spadestan is ranked 151st in The North Pacific and 4,167th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
