The Armed Republic of Svanland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mikael Svan with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 6.489 billion Svanlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svancity. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Svanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion Pissetassars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,743 Pissetassars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitration is mightier than the sword, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, the news is showing footage of Mikael Svan bullying an old man to the point of tears, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. 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 156,668^th in the world and 6,425^th in the West Pacific for Most Devout, with 3.97 Prayers Per Hour.
