The Holy Empire of Sveaborg is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xi Jing Ping with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.932 billion Sveaborgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CoStudios HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.5%.

The Sveaborgian economy, worth 133 trillion slaves 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. 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 69,206 slaves, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, and tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sveaborg's national animal is the Strömstare, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Salut.

Sveaborg is ranked 176,258th in the world and 7,162nd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.93 billion capita.
