The Kingdom of Svafonoimnam is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 348 million Svafons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Svafonian economy, worth 14.5 trillion guto Ǥs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,716 guto Ǥs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Svafonian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svafonoimnam's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Svafonoimnam is ranked 234,368th in the world and 73rd in Rosaria for Most Developed, scoring 52.47 on the Human Development Index.
