The Chaotic Sage of Sparkdottir is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Nikita I with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 26.058 billion Sparkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfsbourg. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sparkan economy, worth a remarkable 2,862 trillion Spareks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 109,847 Spareks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, homophobia is off the menu, every week is blindness awareness week, and the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparkdottir's national animal is the Sparkan Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is no religion.

Sparkdottir is ranked 30,321^st in the world and 1,431^st in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 74,749.88 Standard Monetary Units.
