The Cigarette Smoke of Need- is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.568 billion Swifties live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Swiftie economy, worth 65.8 trillion Needs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,980 Needs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,583 per year while the poor average 3,884, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Swiftie pirates. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Need-'s national animal is the Need, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Need- is ranked 176,403rd in the world and 81st in Cenacle for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
