The Socialist Commonwealth of Swebtartd is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Senior Feather with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.466 billion Swebtartdians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Las Swebtartd. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Swebtartdian economy, worth 926 trillion swebts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 109,460 swebts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers. Crime is totally unknown. Swebtartd's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Quackers.

Swebtartd is ranked 4,619^th in the world and 210^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,586.26 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
