The Rogue Nation of A-Spot in D-Spot is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 556 million A-Spot in D-Spotians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bone Marrowland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The all-consuming A-Spot in D-Spotian economy, worth 51.5 trillion Diiveses a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 92,546 Diiveses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 501,728 per year while the poor average 8,809, a ratio of 57.0 to 1.

The government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, Ollie the Oiled Seal welcomes throngs of tourists to the newly opened Oil Oasis Water Park, and fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. A-Spot in D-Spot's national animal is the Violin Creature, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

A-Spot in D-Spot is ranked 275,690th in the world and 226th in Karma for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
