The United Socialist States of Span is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by M Shobacus Maz with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 44.29 billion Spanners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maz. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.
The all-consuming Spanner economy, worth an astonishing 13,439 trillion spannies a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 303,433 spannies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Most foreigners can't name the leader of Span, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime is totally unknown. Span's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Span is ranked 70,951st in the world and 2,361st in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,331.64 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
