The Republic of Skyvalid8 is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 1.725 billion Skyvalid8ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The Skyvalid8ian economy, worth 90.8 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,626 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Skyvalid8's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Skyvalid8 is ranked 288,926^th in the world and 1^st in The Plaza for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,707.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
