The Republic of Skills is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.937 billion Skillsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Skillsian economy, worth 256 trillion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 65,182 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,727 per year while the poor average 13,296, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Skills's national animal is the sheep.

Skills is ranked 31,864^th in the world and 1,941^st in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,076.45 Standard Monetary Units.
