The People's Republic of Skeusia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kim Jong-Il with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.644 billion Skeusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Skeusian economy, worth 250 trillion Sias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 152,291 Sias, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, trade ministers have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, and the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skeusia's national animal is the Chollima, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Songun.

Skeusia is ranked 20,578th in the world and 3rd in Ijaka for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,158.81 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
