The Republic of TheSkeksis is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 741 million TheSkeksisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Castle of the Crystal. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient TheSkeksisian economy, worth 32.3 trillion Crystal Shards 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,563 Crystal Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheSkeksis's national animal is the Landstrider, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

TheSkeksis is ranked 96,949^th in the world and 1^st in The Land of Thra for Highest Poor Incomes, with 31,588.83 Standard Monetary Units.
