The Dominion of The Skatar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Draconis with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.52 billion Skatarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Skatarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,508 trillion Raivars 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 354,925 Raivars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, and money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skatar's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Draconianism.

The Skatar is ranked 907^th in the world and 6^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 26,245.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
