The compassionate, democratic population of 5.94 billion Shvetisyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them.

The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. Average income is 10,716 kedjelänks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
