The Democratic Republic of Spami is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.746 billion Spamians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spami City. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,048 trillion Spams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,340 Spams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, teenagers sit around on their butts all day, and superfoods are often seen as supervillains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spami's national animal is the Iguana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spami is ranked 13,714^th in the world and 225^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 346 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
