The People's Republic of Skija is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Mikołaj Kwiatkowski with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.072 billion Skijans 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katiana. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Skijan economy, worth 188 trillion Koronkas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,869 Koronkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skija's national animal is the Skijan Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Skija is ranked 7,021^st in the world and 1^st in Viridi Mundus for Safest, scoring 125.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
