The Socialist Paradise of Spruce is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Thomas O'Leary with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.816 billion Spruceans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hivetown. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sprucean economy, worth 263 trillion hearts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,842 hearts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spruce's national animal is the honey bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Spruce is ranked 9,450th in the world and 168th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 419.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
