The Empire of Egan Grant Spencer is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 378 million Egan Grant Spencerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Egan Grant Spencerian economy, worth 13.3 trillion Eggs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 35,095 Eggs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, and thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egan Grant Spencer's national animal is the Egan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Egan Grant Spencer is ranked 39,710^th in the world and 45^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Patriotic, with 37.01 flags saluted per person per day.
