The Neighborhood Webcrawler of Spiderman is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Peter Parker with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.224 billion spiders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queens. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient arachnid economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion webs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,776 webs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Spiderman's national animal is the orb weaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the golden rule.

Spiderman is ranked 326,807th in the world and 4,213th in the South Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 5.94 insults per minute.
