The Republic of Springtown is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 7.417 billion Springtownians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The Springtownian economy, worth 376 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,718 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Springtown's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Springtown is ranked 223,315^th in the world and 11,949^th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,920.37 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
