The Fair duchy of Shkolalia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Socialist duke Hans III with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.861 billion Sholalians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of O'frit palace. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shkolalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,244 trillion shkolalian digipounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 227,626 shkolalian digipounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, and posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shkolalia's national animal is the shkolian angel peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sho sho macreaminist.

Shkolalia is ranked 53,168th in the world and 43rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Stationary, with 831.48052340768 days.
