The Armed Republic of Svanland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mikael Svan with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate population of 9.49 billion Svanlandians 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 large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svancity. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Svanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,538 trillion Pissetassars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 162,100 Pissetassars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anti-government web sites are springing up, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, protestors are soaking piles of Pissetassars in blood to make a point about government incomes, and the Svanland Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svanland's national animal is the Kakstare, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Svanland is ranked 227,053rd in the world and 5,367th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
