The Republic of Sparanoda is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Edward Montequbo with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.803 billion Sparanodans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athenta. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sparanodan economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion Sparan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,847 Sparan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Sparanodan Space Agency, and would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sparanoda's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sparanoda is ranked 185,591st in the world and 4,465th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 69.98684409728 days.
