The Swedish Translation of Fart Is Speed is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.495 billion Fart Is Speedians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunderous. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fart Is Speedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,391 trillion Whiffs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,781 Whiffs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, the government takes agricultural advice from a wasp-themed superhero, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fart Is Speed's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fart Is Speed is ranked 39,991st in the world and 6th in Schopenhauer for Most Stationary, with 1,132.22446982032 days.
