The Many Skellingtons of The Skeleton Army is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Warrior Skeleton Queen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 27.296 billion minions 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish skeletal economy, worth 472 trillion guerdons 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 17,301 guerdons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Warrior Skeleton Queen has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skeleton Army's national animal is the minion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Skeleton Army is ranked 126,808th in the world and 5th in The Skeleton Army for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
