The Altered States of Sparkadooby is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Cutmeownthroat Dibbler with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.585 billion Sparkadoobyians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Munch. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The all-consuming Sparkadoobyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,037 trillion Smackeroonies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,966 Smackeroonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, daydreaming on public transport is considered impolite, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparkadooby's national animal is the Bleary Eyed Gecko, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sparkadooby is ranked 59,552nd in the world and 1,040th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 98,966.38 Standard Monetary Units.
