The Republic of SP20 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, hard-working population of 501 million SP20ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The very strong SP20ian economy, worth 27.6 trillion bitcs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,991 bitcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", if someone says there's plenty of living space in SP20 they're lyin', citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and all the cool kids have tetanus. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SP20's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SP20 is ranked 249,894^th in the world and 52^nd in SP farm for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.4 percentage of bribes refused.
