The Protectorate of The SWORD Founder is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The democratic, devout population of 2.33 billion SWORD Founderians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped SWORD Founderian economy, worth 77.6 trillion Crystals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 33,310 Crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The SWORD Founder's national animal is the Weiner Dog.

The SWORD Founder is ranked 115,254^th in the world and 73^rd in Iris for Most Patriotic, with 13.68 flags saluted per person per day.
