The Republic of Spanistan is a large, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 154 million Spanistanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Spanistanian economy, worth 10.9 trillion pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 70,760 pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Spanistan to be bombproof, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spanistan's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Spanistan is ranked 97,023^rd in the world and 173^rd in Edoca for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
