The Republic of Skyvalid 36 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. The cynical population of 4.752 billion Skyvalid 36ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Skyvalid 36ian economy, worth 252 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,040 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyvalid 36's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skyvalid 36 is ranked 101,792^nd in the world and 1^st in The Left for Most Authoritarian, with 940.36 milliStalins.
