The Brewery of Suedwest is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by CEO Dr Alexander Reich with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and national health service. The democratic population of 1.763 billion Suedwester hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schaumbad-Nippel. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Suedwester economy, worth 86.6 trillion Eastsea Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,113 Eastsea Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in CEO Dr Alexander Reich's bedroom, the government provides its citizenry with the same mass produced rations, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Suedwest's national animal is the Küstenbock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Beer Purity Law.

Suedwest is ranked 73,744^th in the world and 1^st in World of NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,913.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
