The Altered States of Sparkadooby is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Cutmeownthroat Dibbler with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.101 billion Sparkadoobyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Munch. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The all-consuming Sparkadoobyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,295 trillion Smackeroonies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,371 Smackeroonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparkadooby's national animal is the Bleary Eyed Gecko, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sparkadooby is ranked 198,442^nd in the world and 2,375^th in the South Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 40.43 insults per minute.
