The Hellscape of Skebdeland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Radi Atom with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.29 billion Skebdelandians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HolSkibidia. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skebdelandian economy, worth 624 trillion Uranium-coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 189,919 Uranium-coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skebdeland's national animal is the Ray-Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cult of the radiation.

Skebdeland is ranked 4,127^th in the world and 1^st in Merkopa for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 609.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
