The Kingdom of SKYLOG is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by LORD MOXIT with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.069 billion Pipals are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MOXAN. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient SKYLOGian economy, worth a remarkable 1,711 trillion MOXI Bars 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 212,151 MOXI Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, no true communist is an unbeliever, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, and the might of the entire SKYLOGian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SKYLOG's national animal is the HORSE, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bubu dedo.

SKYLOG is ranked 11,638th in the world and 899th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 142.13 kickbacks per hour.
