The Dominion of The Skatar is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Draconis with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.083 billion Skatarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Skatarian economy, worth a remarkable 7,428 trillion Raivars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 389,253 Raivars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,224,501 per year while the poor average 94,677, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, every workday begins with group therapy, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Skatar's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Draconianism.

The Skatar is ranked 27,827th in the world and 18th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,417.86 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
