The United Socialist States of Skorvania is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 204 million Skorvanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.
The strong Skorvanian economy, worth 13.1 trillion Skorvanian Dollaes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 64,327 Skorvanian Dollaes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Skorvania's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Skorvania is ranked 90,726th in the world and 16th in Khuzifenq for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 134,065 Standard Monetary Units.
