The Valued Puppet of Skies1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Skies with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 10.584 billion Skies1ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of In honor of the Western Colony Natives. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Skies1ian economy, worth 690 trillion Yen 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. 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 65,229 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skies1's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Skies1 is ranked 42,119^th in the world and 926^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 10.6 billion capita.
