The Hibissan Monarchy of Splena is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Keraclawra Spleriia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 18.747 billion Nasyundenzen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nahisaka. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nasyundenze economy, worth a remarkable 9,513 trillion Piepamnees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 507,480 Piepamnees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon, Keraclawra Spleriia's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Splena's national animal is the Grattafliedu Muelee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hibissan neopaganism.

Splena is ranked 7,271^st in the world and 1^st in Hybrisia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,825.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
