The Expanding Desert of Sperie is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 10.252 billion Osirans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The Osiran economy, worth 459 trillion scarabs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,781 scarabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sperie's national animal is the scarab.

Sperie is ranked 185,537^th in the world and 1,766^th in The catholic military orders for Most Developed, scoring 53.73 on the Human Development Index.
