The Rogue Nation of Swan District is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 14.733 billion Swan Districtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swan Districtian City. The average income tax rate is 87.0%.

The powerhouse Swan Districtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,384 trillion swanias a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,956 swanias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", the government has been criticized for giving away Swan District's territory to anyone who claims it, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime is almost non-existent. Swan District's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Swan District is ranked 286,282^nd in the world and 21^st in Seven To Many for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -404.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
