The Who needs a pretitle of Swkoll is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Person McPerson with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.23 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Democratic Haven. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, Swkoll has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies, condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, and Swkoll is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swkoll's national animal is the Black Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Swkollism, and its currency is the Sook.

Swkoll is ranked 796th in The East Pacific and 18,605th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 163 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
