The Spanish Kingdom of Spainard is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Luis Herrera with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.487 billion Spaniards have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Spanish economy, worth a remarkable 4,029 trillion Pesetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 230,410 Pesetas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 664,417 per year while the poor average 63,429, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.
Pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, foreign workers are flooding in as Pesetas flood out, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spainard's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unofficial.
Spainard is ranked 10,358th in the world and 23rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
