The Oligarchic Autocracy of New Sparta Ascendancy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Patriarch Devlin Saros with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.683 billion Spartans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parliamentary Dominion. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spartan economy, worth a remarkable 3,480 trillion Spartan Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 274,445 Spartan Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government builds houses for foreign newcomers, trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes, the Spartan war navy contains an oddly large number of luxury yachts and cruise liners, and Patriarch Devlin Saros affectionately nicknames supporters by number. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Sparta Ascendancy's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hellenism.

New Sparta Ascendancy is ranked 19,418^th in the world and 1,254^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
