The Republic of Skerramore is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.676 billion Skerramoreans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong Skerramorean economy, worth a remarkable 1,267 trillion shellats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 71,735 shellats, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skerramore's national animal is the sandpiper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skerramore is ranked 161,042^nd in the world and 1^st in Islands of Rock and Sand for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
