The People's Republic of Spartan Commune is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Spartans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.

The strong Spartan economy, worth 2.60 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,088 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Spartan Commune's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spartan Commune is ranked 88,365^th in the world and 48^th in 8th International for Highest Food Quality, scoring 25.33 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
