The Republic of SP65 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14 million SP65ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak SP65ian economy, worth 495 billion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 35,379 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SP65's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SP65 is ranked 154,370^th in the world and 32^nd in SP farm for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 899.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
