The United Soviet Socialist SSR of Swisterland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Average swiss cheese factory worker with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.901 billion Swisters 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bern and Zurich Islands. The average income tax rate is 60.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Swisterlandian economy, worth 835 trillion Swiss cheese rinds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 214,166 Swiss cheese rinds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Playing card suits are sold separately, commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Swisterland's national animal is the Swiss Cheese Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is swissism.
