The Curers of Spode Humbled Minions is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Baby Sobek the Adorable with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.146 billion Lizards enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cairo. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient reptilian economy, worth a remarkable 4,169 trillion Rexes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,172 Rexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Baby Sobek the Adorable steals from the rich and gives to the needy, many in Spode Humbled Minions are born in the purple, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spode Humbled Minions's national animal is the Monitor lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Snekism.

Spode Humbled Minions is ranked 283,605th in the world and 423rd in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -15.81 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
