The Democratic Monarchy of Swoodle is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Dee with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.588 billion SwoodleyPoopers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paddy's Pub. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Swoodlish economy, worth 508 trillion Paddy Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 196,480 Paddy Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 839,015 per year while the poor average 29,542, a ratio of 28.4 to 1.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, the nation is Osiris's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime is totally unknown. Swoodle's national animal is the Little Green Ghoul, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The DENNIS System.

Swoodle is ranked 159,572nd in the world and 6,315th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 2.59 billion capita.
