The Federation of Sphere of Conservative Republics is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.406 billion Spherites are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong Spheritian economy, worth 140 trillion Sears a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 58,417 Sears, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 359,367 per year while the poor average 4,141, a ratio of 86.8 to 1.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, military spending is on the increase, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sphere of Conservative Republics's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sphere of Conservative Republics is ranked 70,471^st in the world and 1^st in The Sphere of Conservative Republics for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,465.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
