Major cities

Security

Swilatia's security or "National Defence" is very different from the securty of many other nation, as you will never see a sign, or poster saying "report suspicious activity". Instead, bombs are detected by state-of-the-art technology that senses explosive devices, and sends out a warning. Many metro trains are located above ground for easier evacuation, and the ones that are not have emergency exits. Also, if bombs are found in a building, they will be removed from the facilty immediately after the bomb is detected. The system has stopped many terrorist attacks, but some attacks on areas in Swilatia succeded. However, the main priorty of the Department of National Defence is fighting SPIES, not terrorists, but this will change, because of an attack on many of Swilatia's ebassies.
