The Republic of Svedria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tristan Kynnø with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.64 billion Svedris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elsømanbynsia. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Svedris economy, worth 245 trillion krynas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,112 krynas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svedria's national animal is the Eurasian forest reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Svedria is ranked 9,950^th in the world and 243^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,660.43 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
