The Queendom of Spikerok is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Anastazja Lis with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 5.898 billion Spikerokians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gdańsk. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spikerokian economy, worth 730 trillion Drezzes 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 123,911 Drezzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spikerok's national animal is the Racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular state.

Spikerok is ranked 289,952nd in the world and 59th in Eientei Gensokyo for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,036.82 Standard Monetary Units.
