The Armed Republic of Skovashon is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 22.741 billion Skovashonians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The strong Skovashonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,394 trillion overseas issue saars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 61,316 overseas issue saars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 416,874 per year while the poor average 3,294, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Harry Potter books are banned, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot. Crime is a problem. Skovashon's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Skovashon is ranked 252,794^th in the world and 3^rd in Octobris for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.11 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
