Religion

Though Swilatia is an Atheistic nation, that does not have a Department of Religion, it does tolerate religion, and spends money towards it, but there were atempts to ban all religion nationwide. These attempts failed, since Swilatia is a democracy, but if Swilatia was not a democracy, religion would be banned.

The system has stopped many terrorist attacks, but some attacks on areas in Swilatia succeded.
