The People's Republic of Spyr is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Shiwen-daisu with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 24.817 billion Spyrans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sithin. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Spyran economy, worth a remarkable 8,984 trillion sens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 362,047 sens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spyr's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Spyr is ranked 173,499^th in the world and 5^th in A Modern World for Most Conservative, scoring 53.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
