The Empire of Greater Green Sword is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tawan The Great with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.048 billion The Swordians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

Average income is an impressive 161,661 Green Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
