The Republic of Sparmairos is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 92 million Sparmairosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.8%.
The strong Sparmairosian economy, worth 4.91 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,387 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparmairos's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Sparmairos is ranked 124,487th in the world and 11th in Southeast Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,474.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
