The Theocracy of Spira is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Maester Retti Yem with an even hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, devout population of 6.345 billion Spirans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bevelle. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The Spiran economy, worth 304 trillion gils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,977 gils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Grand Maester Retti Yem has just been declared ruler of Spira in an international press conference, Spira has designated Bevelle as its capital city, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime is well under control. Spira's national animal is the chocobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yevonism.

Spira is ranked 158,481^st in the world and 3^rd in Ravencrest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 515.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
