The Company of Swedish Mercenaries is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Captain with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.948 billion Swedes hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Swedish economy, worth 335 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,530 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaccinations are mandatory, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, the Swedish delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swedish Mercenaries's national animal is the swede, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Swedish Mercenaries is ranked 189,030th in the world and 3,744th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 63.76052863768 days.
