The Republic of Spa Ill Atand is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Fred Waterford with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.541 billion Spa Ill Atandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goshen. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Spa Ill Atandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,207 trillion Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,393 Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, even God cannot save you in Spa Ill Atand, and police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spa Ill Atand's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gilead.

Spa Ill Atand is ranked 277,797^th in the world and 5,104^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.86 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
