The Republic of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.77 billion Spartans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sparta City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Spartan economy, worth an astonishing 13,184 trillion Sparts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 511,612 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, many friends and relatives of Alexi Palas have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Sparta's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Outer Sparta is ranked 317,195^th in the world and 904^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -76.76 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
