The Most Serene Republic of Spikeyboy is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Spinar Tine with a fair hand, and notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.32 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erinacea. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spikeyboy's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the spine.
Spikeyboy is ranked 7th in the region and 6,484th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
