The People's Republic of Skydog1 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.355 billion Skydog1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skydog1ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,255 trillion skydogs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 amazing 348,034 skydogs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and government popup ads are springing up like weeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skydog1's national animal is the tortoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Skydog1 is ranked 15,286^th in the world and 975^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
