The Federation of The Spires is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.584 billion Spiresians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Spiresian economy, worth 333 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 50,601 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,987 per year while the poor average 9,818, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Spires's national animal is the panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Spires is ranked 222,233^rd in the world and 1^st in Conacorian alliance party for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,968.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
