The Republic of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.581 billion Spartans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sparta City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Spartan economy, worth an astonishing 13,071 trillion Sparts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 510,973 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Alexi Palas's wardrobe, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Sparta's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Outer Sparta is ranked 331,867^th in the world and 906^th in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
