The Republic of Spica is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Legate Kim Narae with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 5.122 billion Spicans 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arista. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Spican economy, worth 206 trillion denaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,337 denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legate Kim Narae has just been declared ruler of Spica in an international press conference, Spica has designated Arista as its capital city, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Spica's national animal is the bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Spica is ranked 143,951^st in the world and 1^st in Orion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,163.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
