The Inuit Republic of Skedia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Albina Kuroshecvk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.929 billion Skedians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of None. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skedian economy, worth 591 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 150,421 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Skedian ambassadors, 90% of active duty SAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, and students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skedia's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Native Initutian.

Skedia is ranked 307,200th in the world and 188th in United Kingdom for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -25 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
