The Republic of Skroderonia is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 91 million Skroderonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Skroderonian economy, worth 3.03 trillion Metrons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 33,264 Metrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is totally unknown. Skroderonia's national animal is the Skroze, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Skroderonia is ranked 253,818^th in the world and 19^th in Metropolitan Union for Most Beautiful Environments, with 201.4 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
