The Free Land of Skoalstraightius is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Le Dude with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.118 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Right Lip Dip. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, cars are banned, torture is illegal, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skoalstraightius's national animal is the longcut deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the can.

Skoalstraightius is ranked 4th in United Peoples Front for Socialism and 3,305th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 29 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
