The Community of SPEW is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.54 billion SPEW members 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The Elfish Welfare economy, worth 495 trillion Galleons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,910 Galleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Much of SPEW's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. SPEW's national animal is the House-elf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SPEW is ranked 73,001^st in the world and 1,038^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,666.4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
