“Unity, Discipline, Work”

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

The Dictatorship of Spiruvania is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lilith Ta Diktatora with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.299 billion Spiruvanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diktatoratopia. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Spiruvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,961 trillion Spiras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 210,923 Spiras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nations across the world are quick to praise Lilith Ta Diktatora's good looks and intellectual prowess, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Spiruvania, people have become comfortably numb, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spiruvania's national animal is the Winged-Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Spiruvania is ranked 285,466^th in the world and 5,008^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
