The Empire of Skykingdom is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Duchess Lila with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, avowedly heterosexual populace, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.914 billion Skykingdomians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sky City. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skykingdomian economy, worth 311 trillion Zinas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,914 Zinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skykingdom's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Skykingdom is ranked 114,580th in the world and 5,985th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 77.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
