The Holy Empire of Sween is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Matthew I with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 23.982 billion Imperials 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setsuri. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 6,862 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 286,152 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sween's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is the Faith of Inheritance.
Sween is ranked 51,233rd in the world and 3rd in The Dimensional Rift for Most Stationary, with 877.8831534322 days.
