The Dominion of The Skatar is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Draconis with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.911 billion Skatarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Skatarian economy, worth a remarkable 7,235 trillion Raivars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 382,628 Raivars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,248,676 per year while the poor average 88,201, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and citizens are overwhelmed by beautiful simulacra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skatar's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Draconianism.

The Skatar is ranked 922nd in the world and 6th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 16,125.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
