The State of Swan Nolan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.753 billion Swan Nolanians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The strong Swan Nolanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,677 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,724 per year while the poor average 3,925, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Swan Nolan's national animal is the deer.

Swan Nolan is ranked 262,327^th in the world and 7^th in Noumea for Most Patriotic, with 1.13 flags saluted per person per day.
