The Dictatorship of Skolriaa is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 14 million Skolri are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Skolri economy, worth 148 billion Ryryas 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 Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 10,591 Ryryas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skolriaa's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skolriaa is ranked 240,554^th in the world and 1^st in Galsaa for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 601.34 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
