The Province of Skagney is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High King Aelfbeor Faerfinging with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 2.011 billion Scagnedians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skuthness. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Scagnedian economy, worth 69.7 trillion Fennings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,671 Fennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, and many friends and relatives of High King Aelfbeor Faerfinging have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skagney's national animal is the Oystercatcher, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ullisism.

Skagney is ranked 285,623^rd in the world and 59^th in Anteria for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,074.63 Standard Monetary Units.
