The People's Republic of Sterkspruit is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Themba Bavuma with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.804 billion iNgwenyamas 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwa Ngwenyama. The average income tax rate is 1.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sterkspruitian economy, worth an astonishing 10,187 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 366,392 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, and the dartboard at the Sterkspruitian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Themba Bavuma's face. Crime is totally unknown. Sterkspruit's national animal is the Mammal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sterkspruit is ranked 5,797th in the world and 6th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 27.8 billion capita.
