The Actually we're World Machine of Shwe Tu Colony is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sekka Verndara with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.092 billion Parfuhmerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parfuhmerie. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parfuhmerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,338 trillion Desyllians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 330,766 Desyllians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, Max Barry is this year's Miss Shwe Tu Colony, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". 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 238,321^st in the world and 450^th in Forest for Fattest Citizens, with 1.89 Obesity Rate.
