The People's Republic of Sterkspruit is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Themba Bavuma with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 32.923 billion iNgwenyamas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwa Ngwenyama. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sterkspruitian economy, worth an astonishing 12,708 trillion Credits a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 386,004 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The first sword of Sterkspruit does not run, Party members are derided as class traitors, defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, and the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award. Crime is totally unknown. Sterkspruit's national animal is the Mammal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sterkspruit is ranked 42,562^nd in the world and 25^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,784.06 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
