The Republic of Skrewty is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 893 million Skrewtyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skrewtonyia. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Skrewtyian economy, worth 75.0 trillion Skrowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 83,996 Skrowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skrewty's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Skrewty is ranked 257,855th in the world and 280th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 25.17 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
