The State of Svavarsson is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.527 billion Svavarssonians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Svavarssonian economy, worth 684 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 33,351 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 95,759 per year while the poor average 9,236, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, and Svavarsson has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Svavarsson's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Svavarsson is ranked 277,018^th in the world and 8^th in Saint Peter Port for Safest, scoring 7.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
