The Kingdom of The New State of Sweden is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.67 billion New State of Swedenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant New State of Swedenian economy, worth 36.8 trillion Euro-Marks 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms 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 4,248 Euro-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation rates have hit a new low, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New State of Sweden's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The New State of Sweden is ranked 87,573rd in the world and 855th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 524.2752547414 days.
