The Matriarchy of Spironolactone is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 1.09 billion Spironolactoneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.4%.

The Spironolactonean economy, worth 46.4 trillion Anti-Androgens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 42,599 Anti-Androgens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age. Crime is moderate. Spironolactone's national animal is the Steroid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spironolactone is ranked 209,553^rd in the world and 1,165^th in the Outback for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,185.56 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
