The New Life of Spring is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.03 billion Springians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Springian economy, worth a remarkable 1,573 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,118 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, the military struggles with recruitment, and taxpayers cringe whenever someone brings up the Former Antagonist Reparations Treaty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spring's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spring is ranked 235,916th in the world and 7,509th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 22.66965910252 days.
