Svedonia, officially The Free Nation of Svedonia (Svedonian and Swedish: Fria Landet Svedonien) is a nation on Ecros. Svedonia borders Jackson to the north-west (and shares a river with the latter) as well as Terranihil to the south. The Svedonian economy is largely self-sufficient, with any trade occuring via water or borders with Jackson. Svedonia is a direct democracy, where the highest position is elected as a Speaker of the Democracy. The current Speaker is Philip Andersson. The Speaker is in charge of proposing new laws to referendum as well as proposing amendments to current laws. For a proposition of new law to come into effect, the voters for the proposition has to exceed the voters without. If over 4/6 of the voters are abstaining, the proposition is declared invalid.
