The Federal Republic of Svetlopoje is a very large, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 116 million Svetlopojeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Svetlopojean economy, worth 4.55 trillion Cherenovcis a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,196 Cherenovcis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svetlopoje's national animal is the Noble deer.

Svetlopoje is ranked 145,593^rd in the world and 91^st in Byzantion for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 624.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
