The Republic of Skermrdoree is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 8.233 billion Skermrdoreeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Skermrdoreean economy, worth 184 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,289 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skermrdoree's national animal is the elephant.

Skermrdoree is ranked 291,738^th in the world and 2^nd in Worlds End for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
