The Allied States of East Swedesia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Erik Verniy with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.728 billion East Swedesians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alfabusa. The average income tax rate is 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient East Swedesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,091 trillion Shekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 194,965 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, intoxicated AI mobile platforms are sometimes seen crashing through windows instead of being crashed by them, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, and overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal dimunitive intelligence officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. East Swedesia's national animal is the Metroid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
