The Grand Duchy of Swarzia- is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 236 million Swarzians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.
The very strong Swarzian economy, worth 14.1 trillion sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 59,902 sols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,482 per year while the poor average 16,391, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.
Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, the weather in Swarzia- City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Swarzia- remains pure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swarzia-'s national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Swarzia- is ranked 82,987th in the world and 4th in The Celestial Empire for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,203.4 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
