Basic introduction
The nation of Swärje (Swäden in English) is located on the continent of Nordania - a northern continent. Swärje borders to the United States of Norje as well as the Finnish Sauna. The only access to the ocean is on the West coast. In the East there is a mountain range, on the border to Norje. Much of Swärje is quite flat and features farmland, but also vast areas of mixed forests. There are two major lakes, Åxen and Haren, with their respective rivers. The road network is quite developed, but motorways are only common along the coast. Major airports are located near Göteholm and Österköping. The current head of state is Oskar the Third (cermonial purposes) and the Prime Soviet is Jöran Såsson. The unicameral parliament has 349 seats and is the highest legislative power, shared with the direct democracy principle of legislative referendums.

Currently I'm yet to decide if I should go with my Nordic-like continent or join an already existing one. Also, I feel that "The Finnish Sauna" is a bit silly, but until a better neighbouring country is found I'll leave it like that.
