The United Socialist States of Spont is a large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 189 million Spontics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Spontian economy, worth 5.98 trillion Japangles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,626 Japangles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, murder comes with a cash prize if the victim was previously incarcerated, and the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spont's national animal is the Me, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spont is ranked 275,784^th in the world and 8^th in Supa Squad for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
