The Curers of Spode Humbled Minions is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Baby Sobek the Adorable with a fair hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and feral children. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.243 billion Lizards love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cairo. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient reptilian economy, worth a remarkable 3,457 trillion Rexes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 212,860 Rexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, new funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spode Humbled Minions's national animal is the Monitor lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Snekism.

Spode Humbled Minions is ranked 70,837th in the world and 189th in The League for Most Secular, with 18.75 Atheism Rate.
