The Democratic People's Union of Spartacia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yiosef Stialin with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.179 billion Spartacians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spartakus. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Spartacian economy, worth 395 trillion Sparts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 124,536 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's best to decline if Yiosef Stialin offers to buy a round of drinks, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spartacia's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Spartacia is ranked 259,929^th in the world and 9,076^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -187.97 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
