The Socialist Nomadic Republic of Spyrin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Selenyx Irijao with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.495 billion Spyrin are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The SCS Eternity. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Spyrin economy, worth 166 trillion Marks 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,313 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, the Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United Starlight Games, romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, and a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spyrin's national animal is the Lumen Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cosmic Monasticism.

Spyrin is ranked 22,574^th in the world and 83^rd in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 86.01 on the Human Development Index.
