The Republic of Macedonia - Skopje is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 35.084 billion Macedonia - Skopjeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The strong Macedonia - Skopjean economy, worth a remarkable 1,845 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,608 denars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 164,656 per year while the poor average 12,890, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, citizens select which government department gets their income tax denars each year, and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macedonia - Skopje's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Macedonia - Skopje is ranked 141,982^nd in the world and 20^th in Eastern Roman Empire for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.42 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
