“Everyone for Spinach, Spinach for everyone!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Spinazieland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Simon with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.539 billion Spinazielandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoofdegem. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Spinazielandic economy, worth a remarkable 4,152 trillion spinazies a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,798 spinazies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Spinazielandic politicians, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spinazieland's national animal is the cuckoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spinazieland is ranked 2,812^th in the world and 99^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 18,770.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
