The Rogue Nation of Swan District is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 10.941 billion Swan Districtians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swan Districtian City. The average income tax rate is 87.3%.

The powerhouse Swan Districtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion swanias a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,482 swanias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, foreign workers are flooding in as swanias flood out, Swan is one of the most popular forenames in Swan District, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is almost non-existent. Swan District's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Swan District is ranked 37,206^th in the world and 6^th in Seven To Many for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,661.14 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
