The Union of Spektrum is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.395 billion Spektrumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Industry are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The Spektrumian economy, worth 418 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 36,726 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, organ donation is compulsory, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Spektrum's national animal is the symbiote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spektrum is ranked 83,509^th in the world and 1^st in The Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 87.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
