The Queendom of Sprose is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Princess Cassandra with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 22.533 billion Spirosens are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyristië. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Spirosen economy, worth a remarkable 4,873 trillion Diamont-Nails a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 216,294 Diamont-Nails, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's always rabbit season, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is totally unknown. Sprose's national animal is the Huge Treasure-Eating Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ignorance.

Sprose is ranked 25,317^th in the world and 6^th in Banaanvraag for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
