The Absolute Monarchy of SwapIndia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mahamata Rebecca with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.965 billion Rebeccaist Indians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rebeccaist Capital Territory. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SwapIndian economy, worth 276 trillion Rebeccaist Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,564 Rebeccaist Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom, and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SwapIndia's national animal is the Royal Rebeccaist Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rebeccaism.

SwapIndia is ranked 17,221^st in the world and 2^nd in Mauryan Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 24.52 average smiles per day.
