The Practice of Skepticism is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bertrand Russell with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.919 billion Skeptics love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Confirmation Bias. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Skeptical economy, worth a remarkable 1,155 trillion facts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,252 facts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the study of medicine is popular throughout Skepticism, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skepticism's national animal is the curiositie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skepticism is ranked 20,537^th in the world and 21^st in Equilism for Safest, scoring 113.73 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
