The Eight Regions United of Skyetland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by John Jovel - the Skyete Dahn with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.105 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 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skyete economy, worth 436 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 Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 140,459 Jahrls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AI chess masters play the Bongcloud opening to mock their human opponents, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, and the sound of rattles and selfie shots regularly disrupt political debates. 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 269,454^th in the world and 609^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.76 kickbacks per hour.
