The Tortured Poets Department of Taylor Allison Swift is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Olivia Benson with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 3.195 billion Swifties 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harkness House. The average income tax rate is 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Swift economy, worth 660 trillion albums a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,671 albums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Empress Olivia Benson's reputation is hard as nails, the election for Empress Olivia Benson's office's janitor is heating up, gun ownership is compulsory, and chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Harkness House's playgrounds. Crime is totally unknown. Taylor Allison Swift's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Allison Swift is ranked 42,360th in the world and 499th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
