The Kingdom of Vestra-Sverige is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Karl Gustaf Nordqvist with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.511 billion Swedes 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. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Stockholm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Swedish economy, worth a remarkable 1,020 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 185,218 Kronor, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vestra-Sverige's national animal is the Great Northern Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Vestra-Sverige is ranked 293,603rd in the world and 95th in Newlandia for Most Stationary, with 1.5246170798 days.
