The Nationalist republic of Skrakia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Glorious Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.737 billion Skrakians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Petersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Skrakian economy, worth 537 trillion Deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,264 Deniers, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Eagles and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, and maximum security Skrakian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skrakia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Skrakian Nationalism.

Skrakia is ranked 6,813^th in the world and 1^st in NATO 2022 for Most Corrupt Governments, with 190.28 kickbacks per hour.
