The Kingdom of Outer Sparta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexi Palas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.16 billion Spartans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. 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 a remarkable 6,836 trillion Sparts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 423,051 Sparts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, all the playground's a stage for Spartan schoolchildren, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. 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 99^th in the world and 1^st in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 42,420.64 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
