The Good children of Spring Chicken is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Al Copelin with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.79 billion Copelians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Orleans. The average income tax rate is 12.2%.

The very strong Spring Chickenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,366 trillion eggs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 40,439 eggs, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Believers must practice religion behind church doors lest the government smite them with a mighty fine, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and the Spring Chicken Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spring Chicken's national animal is the Mountain Chicken, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Bokononism.

Spring Chicken is ranked 257,541st in the world and 9th in New Orleans for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,547.95 Standard Monetary Units.
