The Interstellar Commonwealths of Skyberius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Solem Wiess I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.082 billion Skyberians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trevelyn. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Skyberian economy, worth a remarkable 6,563 trillion Skyberian Antillers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 225,676 Skyberian Antillers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", selling advanced CPUs to anti-Skyberian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, and commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyberius's national animal is the Woofer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Skyberius is ranked 305,108^th in the world and 370^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.41 kickbacks per hour.
