The Empire of Svenonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sven Heeßel with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.846 billion Svenonians 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, 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 Markarth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.2%.

The very strong Svenonian economy, worth 346 trillion Svenoes 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, 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 impressive 121,873 Svenoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Sven Heeßel's speeches are regarded as enemies of Svenonia, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, money grows on trees, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svenonia's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Svenonia is ranked 56,961^st in the world and 3,429^th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 47,428.9 Standard Monetary Units.
