The People's Republic of Switzemburkistan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nicodemus with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.959 billion Switz' are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tandara. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Switz economy, worth 357 trillion Burkis 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, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 120,743 Burkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Switzemburkistan recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, sex changes are routinely performed at Switzemburkistan's hospitals, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switzemburkistan's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Switzemburkistan is ranked 293,612^th in the world and 154^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Fattest Citizens, with 5.36 Obesity Rate.
