The Kingdom of Skyrix is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 371 million Skyrixians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Skyrixian economy, worth 24.0 trillion Credits 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 64,693 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, one does not simply walk into the tundra, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, and entomologists flock to Skyrix City for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyrix's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Skyrix is ranked 238,298^th in the world and 9,642^nd in Balder for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32.59 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
