The Easter of Schpaebleheim is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.683 billion Schpaebs 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 enormous, corrupt, 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 Schpa3bl3h3im. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Schpaeb economy, worth a remarkable 2,948 trillion gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 383,723 gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens, everyone apparently sends Santa Claus hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schpaebleheim's national animal is the Citiz3n, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of P3rsonality.

Schpaebleheim is ranked 332,471st in the world and 26th in Aessui for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
