The United Socialist States of Span is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by M Shobacus Maz with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 46.144 billion Spanners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maz. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Spanner economy, worth an astonishing 14,163 trillion spannies a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 306,933 spannies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, teenagers sit around on their butts all day, the government thinks Spanners can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, and the comic book series 'M Shobacus Maz and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime is totally unknown. Span's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Span is ranked 406th in the world and 21st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 208.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
