The Republic of Sprite Cranberry is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.629 billion Sprite Cranberryians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sprite Cranberryian economy, worth 769 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,848 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sprite Cranberry's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sprite Cranberry is ranked 34,516^th in the world and 1^st in The Abyss Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 232.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
