The Holy Empire of Switchokrachka is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.116 billion Switchokrachkans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Underground City of Yurigrad. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Switchokrachkan economy, worth 67.2 trillion Tollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,208 Tollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switchokrachka's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Switchokrachka is ranked 173,663^rd in the world and 111^th in Refugia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 435.44 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
