The Principality of SP53 is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 437 million SP53ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The thriving SP53ian economy, worth 30.5 trillion dogecoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 69,865 dogecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,864 per year while the poor average 15,120, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, skyscrapers get built in just days, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. SP53's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SP53 is ranked 28,863^rd in the world and 2^nd in SP farm for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 63,438.28 Standard Monetary Units.
