The Republic of SP61 is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos. The devout population of 40 million SP61ians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The SP61ian economy, worth 1.52 trillion florins a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,107 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SP61's national animal is the beaver.

SP61 is ranked 142,813^th in the world and 34^th in SP farm for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,211.41 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
