Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The CYC CYL of SpinDizzy is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by I with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.966 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spin City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, SpinDizzy has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SpinDizzy's national animal is the Istrebitel Sputnikov, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Spending , and its currency is the boost.

SpinDizzy is ranked 4th in A Van Down by the River and 15,517th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
