The Eight Regions United of Skyetland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by John Jovel - the Skyete Dahn with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.604 billion Skyete are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corremonde Civensvas os Durins. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skyete economy, worth 517 trillion Jahrls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 143,589 Jahrls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, recognizing the Skyete flag qualifies you for citizenship, and anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyetland's national animal is the Citrine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Skyete Khristianiti.

Skyetland is ranked 7,934^th in the world and 180^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,386.29 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
