The Community of Skyclad is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.778 billion Skycladians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Skyclad economy, worth 578 trillion pounds 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 121,132 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The public are free to vote for whomever the government wants in office, the government is a law unto itself, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon". Crime is totally unknown. Skyclad's national animal is the bluejay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dispossession.
Skyclad is ranked 62,667th in the world and 43rd in Nudist Dreamland for Most Influential, scoring 1,110 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
