The Principality of New Sker is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 526 million New Skerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving New Skerian economy, worth 43.7 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 83,167 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sker's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
New Sker is ranked 26,332nd in the world and 112th in Conch Kingdom for Nicest Citizens, with 20.14 average smiles per day.
