The Democratic Republic of Spaceaz is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 973 million Spaceazians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spaceaz City. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Spaceazian economy, worth 39.5 trillion Alphans a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,636 Alphans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, movie references are legally admissible in court, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spaceaz's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spaceaz is ranked 70,828^th in the world and 2,008^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 108.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
