The World Machine of Shwe Tu Colony is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Sekka Verndara with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.587 billion Parfuhmerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parfuhmerie. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Parfuhmerian economy, worth a remarkable 9,394 trillion Desyllians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 435,189 Desyllians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The endangered saltwater humpback Dela Deer is only seen in captivity programs, Sekka Verndara's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and Sekka Verndara's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shwe Tu Colony's national animal is the Dela Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heritage of Chao.

Shwe Tu Colony is ranked 306^th in the world and 5^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 99.56 on the Human Development Index.
