The Republic of Svedria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tristan Kynnø with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.026 billion Svedris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elsømanbynsia. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Svedris economy, worth 299 trillion krynas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,030 krynas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's no representation without taxation, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and the old neighbourhood isn't how most Svedris remember it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svedria's national animal is the Eurasian forest reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Svedria is ranked 230,554^th in the world and 1,133^rd in Europe for Nudest, with 87.75 cheeks per square mile.
