The Socialist Empire of Eskian is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Chairman Fred with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 6.799 billion Skis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marienburg. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Skian economy, worth 969 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 142,567 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Transgender and agender are on the education agenda, there are no more heroes any more, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Supreme Chairman Fred's wardrobe, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eskian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eskian is ranked 10,726^th in the world and 310^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,835.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
