The Democratic Republic of Zwabia is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, strictly enforced bedtime, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, humorless population of 6.895 billion Zwabians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of M'wa. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zwabian economy, worth 928 trillion jewels 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 black market in Information Technology, Retail, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 134,640 jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government election advice reads like a restaurant menu, a town hall is called each time a kid asks how far away the sun is, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and forgotten trend connoisseurs turn their nose at one wrinkle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zwabia's national animal is the tarantula, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zwabia is ranked 5,375th in the world and 4th in Wintercrest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,004.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
