The Republic of Skirtia is a large, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 166 million Skirtians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Skirtian economy, worth 4.91 trillion Skirt Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 29,601 Skirt Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skirtia's national animal is the Skirted, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skirtia is ranked 130,605^th in the world and 2^nd in The New Beltics for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 554.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
