The Principality of Skoorb is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 314 million Skoorbians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Skoorbian economy, worth 13.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,970 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Skoorb's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Skoorb is ranked 50,478^th in the world and 120^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,670.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
