The Kingdom of The Spanish Coast is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ruiz IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.893 billion Costanians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. The average income tax rate is 19.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Costanian economy, worth 915 trillion Costanian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 155,379 Costanian Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Spanish Coast's national animal is the Cougar and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Spanish Coast is ranked 307,923^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Continental Confederation for Nudest, with 8.5 cheeks per square mile.
