The Republic of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.602 billion Spartans 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 Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sparta City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Spartan economy, worth an astonishing 13,092 trillion Sparts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 511,369 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the image of Outer Sparta's future is just a picture from last century, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and the 'sing-a-long with Alexi Palas' album is a popular souvenir. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Sparta's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Outer Sparta is ranked 32^nd in the world and 1^st in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 45,887.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
