The Armed Republic of Spunky Doughnut is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Lady Baroness Glorious Hannay-Rogers with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.023 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phartville. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Membership in the state-owned Church of Spunky Doughnut is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and guns are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Spunky Doughnut's national animal is the Mother-in-Law, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Cult Of Hannay-Rogers, and its currency is the Blagger.

Spunky Doughnut is ranked 330th in the Pacific and 10,030th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 32 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
