The Republic of Swiftnian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nian with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 5.201 billion swiftnians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yorkshire of Swiftnian. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Swiftnianian economy, worth 661 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 127,259 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, swiftnians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swiftnian's national animal is the Racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tomita.

Swiftnian is ranked 5,541st in the world and 325th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114 law-abiding acts per hour.
