The Supreme Empire of Spathganistan is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Lukas Nachtnebel with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 995 million Spathganis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hendricka. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Spathgani economy, worth 99.8 trillion Hendricks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 100,270 Hendricks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Lukas Nachtnebel to meetings with foreign heads of state, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spathganistan's national animal is the Ouroboros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spathganistan is ranked 281,771^st in the world and 5,733^rd in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 5.5 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
