The Free Land of Sparkla is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning dove population. The hard-working population of 679 million Sparklans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The Sparklan economy, worth 25.8 trillion birdsongs a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 37,923 birdsongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparkla's national animal is the dove.

Sparkla is ranked 163,719^th in the world and 84^th in Perseverance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 355.76 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
