The Republic of SP1 is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 422 million SP1ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.

The very strong SP1ian economy, worth 20.1 trillion lire a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,530 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,342 per year while the poor average 7,123, a ratio of 28.5 to 1.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. SP1's national animal is the dove.

SP1 is ranked 91,557^th in the world and 6^th in SP farm for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.97 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
