The Kingdom of Skiyia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 1.912 billion Skiyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The strong Skiyian economy, worth 95.9 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,168 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Chests full of green leaves dumped into the harbor have many murmuring against the government, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skiyia's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Skiyia is ranked 205,672^nd in the world and 7^th in Nova Terra for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 52.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
