The Kingdom of Sparitonia is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 294 million Sparitonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sparitonian economy, worth 18.8 trillion platinum coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,981 platinum coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparitonia's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sparitonia is ranked 89,778^th in the world and 167^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,776.26 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
