The Queendom of Sprose is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princess Cassandra with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 22.433 billion Spirosens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyristië. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Spirosen economy, worth a remarkable 5,054 trillion Diamont-Nails a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 225,306 Diamont-Nails, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", Sprose's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and dining out often involves Huge Treasure-Eating Snails on the plate no matter what you order. Crime is totally unknown. Sprose's national animal is the Huge Treasure-Eating Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ignorance.
Sprose is ranked 7,475th in the world and 1st in Banaanvraag for Most Stationary, with 2,705.28369917288 days.
