The Kingdom of Svensk is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.51 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The SBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, polygamy is legal, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned. Crime is totally unknown. Svensk's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krona.

Svensk is ranked 6th in Sweden and 13,974th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring 82 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
