The Constitutional Monarchy of SPHRANTZES is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Constantine XII Paleologos Dragases with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.044 billion SPHRANTZESians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lynx. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SPHRANTZESian economy, worth a remarkable 1,348 trillion LEI a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,107 LEI, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on SPHRANTZES's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, and one can wake up in SPHRANTZES and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SPHRANTZES's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Byzantyne Orthodox.

SPHRANTZES is ranked 130,753^rd in the world and 1,670^th in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,346.43 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
