The United Socialist States of Span is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by M Shobacus Maz with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 46.232 billion Spanners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maz. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Spanner economy, worth an astonishing 14,157 trillion spannies a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 306,218 spannies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government thinks Spanners can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, the comic book series 'M Shobacus Maz and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown. Span's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Span is ranked 7,554th in the world and 151st in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,450.53 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
