The Kingdom of Skyrix is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 553 million Skyrixians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Skyrixian economy, worth 36.5 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 66,008 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Skyrixian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyrix's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Skyrix is ranked 28,613th in the world and 918th in Balder for Highest Drug Use, scoring 359.44 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
