"Thank Mr Skeltal" The Holy Empire of MrSkeltal is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The cynical population of 5 million MrSkeltalians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy. The developing MrSkeltalian economy, worth 192 billion 999999999999s 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. 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 38,428 999999999999s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MrSkeltal's national animal is the Skelly. MrSkeltal is ranked 79,709th in the world and 3,540th in the West Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 43.14 on the Hayek Index.
