The Socialist Federation of Eskian is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Chairman Fred with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 8.058 billion Skis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marienburg. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Skian economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,791 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children usually cry on their first day of school, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, arbitration is mightier than the sword, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Skian democracy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eskian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eskian is ranked 202,675^th in the world and 935^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Extreme, scoring 14.93 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
