The frighteningly efficient Speranzistian economy, worth 662 trillion ☧ Holy Oracles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 148,369 ☧ Holy Oracles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Speranzist's national animal is the South Andean Horned Deerdogs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Abrahamism.
