The People's Republic of Sterkspruit is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Themba Bavuma with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.734 billion iNgwenyamas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sterkspruitian economy, worth an astonishing 10,174 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 366,849 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, and towns are often run by puppets. Crime is totally unknown. Sterkspruit's national animal is the Mammal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sterkspruit is ranked 285,711th in the world and 318th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
