The Queendom of Skrunklyland is a huge, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 664 million Skrunklylandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Skrunklylandian economy, worth 24.9 trillion awws a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 37,440 awws, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Skrunklylandian language, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skrunklyland's national animal is the skrunklie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skrunklyland is ranked 59,662^nd in the world and 146^th in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 103.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
