The Commonwealth of Skaians is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.765 billion Skaiansians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving Skaiansian economy, worth 999 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,619 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,034 per year while the poor average 12,161, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Skaians's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Skaians is ranked 259,880^th in the world and 8^th in The United Nations of the Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
