The Holy Empire of Switchokrachka is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.027 billion Switchokrachkans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Underground City of Yurigrad. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Switchokrachkan economy, worth 61.8 trillion Tollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,208 Tollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switchokrachka's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Switchokrachka is ranked 73,853^rd in the world and 154^th in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,364.15 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
