The People's Republic of Saint Spartacus is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 273 million Gjeski 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuhmoinen. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Spartaquese economy, worth 23.8 trillion Zhkovels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 87,246 Zhkovels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Spartaquese language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Saint Spartacus's national animal is the Spartaquese toothed finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saint Spartacus is ranked 131,134^th in the world and 41^st in Wintercrest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 5.6 kickbacks per hour.
