The Great Kingdom of Suwatica is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Aurora with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.644 billion Suwaticans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PepperWood. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Suwatican economy, worth 708 trillion Auroras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 194,332 Auroras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suwatica's national animal is the Mermaid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Suwatica is ranked 2,473^rd in the world and 38^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 315.91 kickbacks per hour.
