The Confederacy of Spoona is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Fabricator General with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.794 billion Spoonans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Spoonigrad. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Spoonan economy, worth 285 trillion Cogs 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 significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,357 Cogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judges are all-powerful, Spoonans refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and loudmouthed journalists are given the chop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spoona's national animal is the Servitor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spoona is ranked 73,779th in the world and 906th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 641.1257702348 days.
