The State of Spruceridge is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 17.43 billion Spruceridgeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 30.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Spruceridgean economy, worth 416 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,874 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The deer is a protected species, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, Harry Potter books are banned, and Spruceridge has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spruceridge's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spruceridge is ranked 236,110^th in the world and 12^th in Wyoming for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
