The Republic of Swesiseidence is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.789 billion Swesiseidenceans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Swesiseidencean economy, worth 203 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,767 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Swesiseidence, powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swesiseidence's national animal is the wolf.

Swesiseidence is ranked 125,240^th in the world and 4,789^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 953.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
