The Military National Republic of SkolofynsK is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Scafary with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.234 billion SkolofyisHes are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PoldacK. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SkolofynskiaN economy, worth 188 trillion Leis 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 152,878 Leis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SkolofynsK's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

SkolofynsK is ranked 41,622nd in the world and 25th in Arctica for Safest, scoring 105.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
