The World Machine of Shwe Tu Colony is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sekka Verndara with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.54 billion Parfuhmerians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parfuhmerie. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Parfuhmerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,737 trillion Desyllians 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 394,614 Desyllians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Computers have been put in control of the economy to keep computers from controlling the economy, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, and notable individuals are granted land and titles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shwe Tu Colony's national animal is the Dela Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heritage of Chao.

Shwe Tu Colony is ranked 8,418^th in the world and 77^th in Forest for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 63.55 Bank.
