The Far-Eastern State of Svastiya is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Ivo Voskresenski with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.029 billion Svastiyans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkanova. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The powerhouse Svastiyan economy, worth 104 trillion Svastiyan Kalinals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 101,618 Svastiyan Kalinals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The fate of the world literally rests on Chancellor Ivo Voskresenski's fingers, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, Svastiya has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svastiya's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shi'ism.

Svastiya is ranked 289,258^th in the world and 5,395^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 8.92 Atheism Rate.
