The People's Empire of The Skrogs is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Supreme Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 5.369 billion Skroglings enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Subterranean Citadel of The Skrogs. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Skrogsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion Skrumps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 188,308 Skrumps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The comic book series 'The Supreme Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skrogs's national animal is the Koala, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Skrogs is ranked 8,032nd in the world and 401st in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 175.62 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
