The People's Empire of The Skrogs is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Supreme Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 5.375 billion Skroglings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
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 1,012 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 188,428 Skrumps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. 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 37,421st in the world and 2,175th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,910.27 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
