The Mandate of Schwartzenburg is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.963 billion Schwartzenburgians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.5%.

The very strong Schwartzenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,118 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,000 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,008 per year while the poor average 15,117, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Schwartzenburg's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Schwartzenburg is ranked 76,199^th in the world and 10^th in The League of Nations for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,233.59 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
