Skqishmalowska

Population299 million

The People's Republic of Skqishmalowska is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 299 million Skqishmalowskans 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 Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Skqishmalowskan economy, worth 15.3 trillion Buttons 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 Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,138 Buttons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skqishmalowska's national animal is the Gromit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skqishmalowska is ranked 62,349th in the world and 1,817th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 19.58 Atheism Rate.
