The Holy Overlordly Empire of Skycove is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Overlordly Emperor Jonas Jackson with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.297 billion Skycoveans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brande. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Skycovean economy, worth a remarkable 1,125 trillion haartwoals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,201 haartwoals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Private surgeons have been told to cut it out, national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skycove's national animal is the Peaceomen Breezebird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Naevmore Saoism.

Skycove is ranked 74,614th in the world and 86th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,813.66 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
