The State of Spruceridge is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 17.264 billion Spruceridgeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 30.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Spruceridgean economy, worth 412 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,874 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The deer is a protected species, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, Harry Potter books are banned, and Spruceridge has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spruceridge's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spruceridge is ranked 49,933rd in the world and 8th in Wyoming for Most Stationary, with 905.98162850472 days.
