The Empire of Skittles lands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Skittles with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 12.797 billion Skittles landsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Green air. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skittles landsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,183 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 170,622 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, news headlines suggest that Sir Skittles has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skittles lands's national animal is the Jellyfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
