The Most Serene Republic of Swathiana is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 207 million Swathianans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Swathianan economy, worth 10.8 trillion Sqanis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,014 Sqanis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swathiana's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Swathiana is ranked 102,488^th in the world and 2,243^rd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 81.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
