The Republic of SvgTest is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning elephant population. The hard-working population of 12 million SvgTestians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The SvgTestian economy, worth 513 billion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,800 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SvgTest's national animal is the elephant.

SvgTest is ranked 225,967^th in the world and 10^th in Icor for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
