The Allnation of Schpaebleheim is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Schpaeble with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.001 billion Schpaebs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schpaebleheim. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The all-consuming Schpaeb economy, worth 947 trillion Courjitziens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 236,746 Courjitziens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleeping on the job is recommended, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Schpaeble's desk, and songs of praise to Schpaeble are filled with coded messages from the resistance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schpaebleheim's national animal is the Citizen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Personality.

Schpaebleheim is ranked 5,081st in the world and 1st in Aessui for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,230.98 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
