The Federal Republic of Sxketh is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Saketh with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 2.055 billion Sxkethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sxkethian economy, worth 257 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,375 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sxketh's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Sxketh is ranked 16,641st in the world and 1,018th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 128.63 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
