The People's Empire of The Skrogs is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Supreme Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.414 billion Skroglings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Subterranean Citadel of The Skrogs. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skrogsian economy, worth 211 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,687 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, Skrogsian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about The Supreme Leader, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across The Skrogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skrogs's national animal is the Koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Skrogs is ranked 33,928^th in the world and 603^rd in The Communist Bloc for Healthiest Citizens, with 7.56 bananas ingested per day.
