“Glory, Pride, Honor”

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

The People's Democratic Republic of Spelkagrad is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Liao Hong with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and strictly enforced bedtime. The cynical population of 7.011 billion Spelkagradians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shengaivostok. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Spelkagradian economy, worth 274 trillion Noneuropean Kronees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 39,141 Noneuropean Kronees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spelkagrad's national animal is the Spelkagradian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic Asemism.

Spelkagrad is ranked 47,258^th in the world and 6^th in Noneuropean Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 43.35 kickbacks per hour.
