The State of Thomas Spratt is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.614 billion Thomas Sprattians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
