The Republic of Springhawk is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 6.503 billion Springhawkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The strong Springhawkian economy, worth 329 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,547 rubledollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,668 per year while the poor average 4,979, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Springhawk's national animal is the hawk.

Springhawk is ranked 225,431^st in the world and 1^st in 3 mile island for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.57 percentage of bribes refused.
