The Republic of Spa Ill Atand is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Fred Waterford with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.51 billion Spa Ill Atandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goshen. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Spa Ill Atandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion Tokens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 229,004 Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Every workday begins with group therapy, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spa Ill Atand's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gilead.
Spa Ill Atand is ranked 222,835th in the world and 4,061st in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -98.94 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
