The Kingdom of Sveniland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hansen Hurtmann with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.293 billion Svens 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurtmannski. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Svenish economy, worth 115 trillion Svenish kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,585 Svenish kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, Svens are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, and Orthodox Christianity has been named as Sveniland's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sveniland's national animal is the Svenish northern Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Sveniland is ranked 175,568^th in the world and 95^th in MHBs New Earth for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,087.01 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
