The Republic of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with an even hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.634 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 13,110 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 511,445 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and Alexi Palas has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. 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 28^th in the world and 1^st in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 382.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
