The Empire of Skykingdom is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duchess Lila with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.815 billion Skykingdomians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sky City. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Skykingdomian economy, worth 300 trillion Zinas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,914 Zinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Big Beef has a steak in national politics, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skykingdom's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Skykingdom is ranked 33,899th in the world and 1,484th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 70,330.85 Standard Monetary Units.
