The Republic of Skynidos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Phoenix Astra with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.259 billion Skynidosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caelumporta. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skynidosian economy, worth 153 trillion Skals a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,849 Skals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skynidos's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Luminism.

Skynidos is ranked 287,933^rd in the world and 111^th in Portugal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,722.72 Standard Monetary Units.
