The United Federation of Skaladoria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by James T Kirk with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.021 billion Skaladorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shatnerton. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skaladorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,608 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 229,100 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, it's always rabbit season, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime is totally unknown. Skaladoria's national animal is the Mugato, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Skaladoria is ranked 2,641^st in the world and 68^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 736.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
