The Stealth Missile Corvette of Skudd is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kyorgia Kyosson-Vonimof with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 22.813 billion Skuddians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The thriving Skuddian economy, worth a remarkable 1,775 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 77,831 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, surveillance cameras are banned, and enemy combatants are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skudd's national animal is the Elk and its national religion is Den Norske Kirke.

Skudd is ranked 40,527^th in the world and 125^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
