The Military National Republic of SkolofynsK is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Scafary with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.205 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, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PoldacK. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SkolofynskiaN economy, worth 187 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 155,490 Leis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Rumor has it that Scafary has won three lotteries in a row, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, camera crews have accompanied conscripted dancers to film 'Marching On Ice', and school uniforms are compulsory. 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 35,835th in the world and 11th in Arctica for Most Corrupt Governments, with 60.74 kickbacks per hour.
