Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Stealth Missile Corvette of Skudd is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kyorgia Kyosson-Vonimof with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 17.679 billion Skuddians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 25.7%.

The strong Skuddian economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,612 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skudd's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Den Norske Kirke.

Skudd is ranked 219,801^st in the world and 4^th in New World Roman Empire for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
