The Oppressed Peoples of Skankamungus is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 19.137 billion Skankamungusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Skankamungusian economy, worth 682 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 35,672 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skankamungus's national animal is the Skankamungus.

Skankamungus is ranked 72,781^st in the world and 18^th in St Abbaddon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
