The Theocracy of Skairus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ayani with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.213 billion Skairusians 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 Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skairusian economy, worth 321 trillion Lúmens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 145,419 Lúmens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Ayani has won three lotteries in a row, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Ayani, and it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Skairusian resumés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skairus's national animal is the Gato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Skairus is ranked 9,573rd in the world and 55th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 90.83 on the Human Development Index.
