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

The People's Republic of Sterkspruit is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Themba Bavuma with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.809 billion iNgwenyamas 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwa Ngwenyama. The average income tax rate is 2.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sterkspruitian economy, worth an astonishing 10,169 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 365,706 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, billion-Credits sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, and television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment. Crime is totally unknown. Sterkspruit's national animal is the Mammal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sterkspruit is ranked 3,341^st in the world and 47^th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 137.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
