The Words of Jonathan Swift is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, smutty television, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.159 billion Jonathan Swiftians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Jonathan Swiftian economy, worth 802 trillion Satires 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 78,972 Satires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, a major piece of minority legislation allows a majority of minority interests to majorly undermine majority politics, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and politicians have tenure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonathan Swift's national animal is the Satyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jonathan Swift is ranked 66,684^th in the world and 2^nd in The Cuckoos Egg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,143.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
