The Kingdom of Skyrix is a small, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Skyrixians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Skyrixian economy, worth 408 billion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 15,704 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skyrix's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Skyrix is ranked 208,928^th in the world and 8,894^th in Balder for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 1,023.3 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
