The State of Swords Xiang is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.827 billion Swords Xiangians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Swords Xiangian economy, worth 583 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,307 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,793 per year while the poor average 3,090, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and Swords Xiang has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Swords Xiang's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Swords Xiang is ranked 163,350^th in the world and 5^th in Iranian Islamic Republic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,203.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
