The Fylkirate of Svipjoth is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Fylkir Beinlaus XVII Pjotursson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 11.458 billion Svips are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uppsala. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Svipish economy, worth a remarkable 2,146 trillion Gullins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 187,295 Gullins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, businesses are required to round down their profits, death is nobody's business, and entomologists flock to Uppsala for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Svipjoth's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Grjotgardism.

Svipjoth is ranked 4,816^th in the world and 1^st in Saint Helene for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,830.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
