The State of SWP is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.092 billion SWPians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The thriving SWPian economy, worth 695 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,960 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,098 per year while the poor average 14,066, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and SWP has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. SWP's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

SWP is ranked 77,498^th in the world and 67^th in United States of America for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
