The Commonwealth of Skanking is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Counsel of Rude Bois with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.516 billion Skankers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skanking. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Skanking economy, worth 461 trillion SKABITS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,789 SKABITS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skanking's national animal is the Rude Boi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Skanking is ranked 158,622nd in the world and 2nd in The Allied Islands of Duraludon for Most Stationary, with 129.5259934922 days.
