The Holy Empire of SpongeBob Tech is a small, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 23 million SpongeBob Techians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak SpongeBob Techian economy, worth 636 billion Bikini Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,659 Bikini Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. SpongeBob Tech's national animal is the Sponge.

SpongeBob Tech is ranked 282,827^th in the world and 5^th in Seraphim Palace for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -31.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
