The Community of SPEW is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.285 billion SPEW members 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The Elfish Welfare economy, worth 655 trillion Galleons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,323 Galleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Much of SPEW's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. SPEW's national animal is the House-elf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SPEW is ranked 178,944^th in the world and 2,405^th in eta for Highest Drug Use, scoring 123.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
