The Nomadic Followers of Sky Bison is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Appa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 20.289 billion Sky Bisons love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southern Air Temple City. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Sky Bisonian economy, worth 780 trillion Walnuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 38,453 Walnuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, Appa has just been declared ruler of Sky Bison in an international press conference, Appa is the self-declared God of all Sky Bison, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown. Sky Bison's national animal is the Sky Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Air Buddhism.

Sky Bison is ranked 61,692^nd in the world and 11^th in The Universe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,878.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
