The Cyberse Link Monster of Link Spider is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.048 billion Link Spiderians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Link Spiderian economy, worth 215 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,816 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Link Spider's national animal is the doe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Link Spider is ranked 285,742nd in the world and 4th in Sand for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
