The Community of Sklobdt is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.227 billion Sklobdtians 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 Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galab. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sklobdtian economy, worth 68.7 trillion Lobs 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,996 Lobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sklobdt's national animal is the Diplodocus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sklobdt is ranked 33,312^th in the world and 590^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,962.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
