The Ancient Sparkles Main of Sparkdottir is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Nikita I with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 21.497 billion Sparkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfsbourg. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sparkan economy, worth a remarkable 2,397 trillion Spareks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 111,510 Spareks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, homophobia is off the menu, every week is blindness awareness week, and the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparkdottir's national animal is the Sparkan Wolf and its national religion is no religion.

Sparkdottir is ranked 10,985^th in the world and 5^th in Suspicious for Safest, scoring 120.08 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
