The Federal Republic of Zwitseland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Konen Van Hurlec with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.428 billion Zwiss enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heneva. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zwiss economy, worth 70.8 trillion Zwiss Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,558 Zwiss Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Zwiss language, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, insomnia is slowly turning everyone insane, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zwitseland's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zwitseland is ranked 198,250^th in the world and 3,070^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
