The People's Republic of Skoy is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 165 million Skoyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.5%.

The powerhouse Skoyian economy, worth 13.7 trillion Stoks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,909 Stoks, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Skoy's national animal is the Okapia johnstoni, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Skoy is ranked 35,655^th in the world and 33^rd in Lands End for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,728.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
