The Kingdom of Schwaland is a large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 179 million Schwalandians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The very strong Schwalandian economy, worth 12.2 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 67,940 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schwaland's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Schwaland is ranked 38,878^th in the world and 71^st in Edoca for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 58,836.04 Standard Monetary Units.
