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

The Republic of Sventsa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.855 billion Sventsans 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 large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sveista. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sventsan economy, worth a remarkable 1,283 trillion Sreats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,230 Sreats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sventsa's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ilanei.

Sventsa is ranked 37,915^th in the world and 50^th in Anteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
