The Comic Books of Spider-Man is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Peter Parker with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 15.539 billion Spider-Men are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Spider-Manian economy, worth 624 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 40,185 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spider-Man's national animal is the spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Comic Books.

Spider-Man is ranked 216,360^th in the world and 6^th in Comic Books for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
