The People's Red Social Republic of Spavole is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sladko Jyedic with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and hatred of cheese. The quiet, industrious population of 24.864 billion Spavoleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budapest. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Spavolean economy, worth a remarkable 1,290 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 51,890 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, Sladko Jyedic is adamant that ponies aren't just for little girls, government buildings are being cleansed for anything that might have racist connotations, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spavole's national animal is the Hydra, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Spavole is ranked 29,319^th in the world and 486^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
