The Socialist Worker's Republic of Swaden is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Robert Mathiasson with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.078 billion Swadenians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 82.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Swadenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,894 trillion Swadenian Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,030 Swadenian Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Swaden. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swaden's national animal is the Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Swaden is ranked 136,758th in the world and 11th in Blanjiland Economic Authority for Most Stationary, with 227.3612780998 days.
