The Republic of SKULLBRIAR is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Unknowable with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.666 billion SKULLBRIARians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravnica. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong SKULLBRIARian economy, worth 211 trillion unidentifiable chunks of metal a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 79,256 unidentifiable chunks of metal, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Unknowable is quite hard to get a hold of, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities. Crime is totally unknown. SKULLBRIAR's national animal is the Girlboss, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SKULLBRIAR is ranked 262,208^th in the world and 251^st in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
