The IxProtectorate of Spelferia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.438 billion Spelferians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Spelfer. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Spelferian economy, worth 276 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,392 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, it's a jungle out there, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spelferia's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spelferia is ranked 50,667^th in the world and 1^st in Weird Al for Highest Average Incomes, with 113,392.55 Standard Monetary Units.
