The Undead Empire of Skorrord is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Skorrord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.074 billion Skorrordians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.1%.

The very strong Skorrordian economy, worth 302 trillion Ghost Silvers 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, 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 98,429 Ghost Silvers, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Hellhounddogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Skorrord. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skorrord's national animal is the Hellhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Malice.

Skorrord is ranked 75,990^th in the world and 65^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,010.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
