“IT'S GRIPEN TIME”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Svenish JAS-39 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 426 million Svenish JAS-39ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Säkkijärvi. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Svenish JAS-39ian economy, worth 21.5 trillion svenish kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,554 svenish kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and Svenish JAS-39 has designated Säkkijärvi as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svenish JAS-39's national animal is the siberian tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Svenish JAS-39 is ranked 181,515^th in the world and 5^th in The Royal Svenish Defense Forces for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,075.44 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
