The Queendom of Sprose is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princess Cassandra with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 22.592 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, 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 income tax rate is 100.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Spirosen economy, worth a remarkable 4,838 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 214,153 Diamont-Nails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office. 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 217,219th in the world and 10th in Banaanvraag for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
