The Republic of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.711 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 13,156 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 511,701 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. 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 314,195^th in the world and 896^th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -68.54 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
