The Republica of Lespiack is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 12.995 billion Vennies 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caracas. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lespiackian economy, worth a remarkable 1,421 trillion Bolívars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,394 Bolívars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, the Caracas Film Festival recently voted 'Vennie Getting Hit By Football' as best film, and lottery winners spend most of their money on security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lespiack's national animal is the Turpial, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lespiack is ranked 41,002^nd in the world and 11^th in Intercontinental for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
