The Queen's State of Spring Garden is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.445 billion Spring Gardenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Spring Gardenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,427 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 42,676 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,145 per year while the poor average 2,293, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, Spring Garden has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Spring Garden in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spring Garden's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spring Garden is ranked 314,237^th in the world and 517^th in State for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -7.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
