The Federation of Skoda Drivers is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by V W Skoda with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.212 billion Skoda Driversians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Motor City. The average income tax rate is 2.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Skoda Driversian economy, worth a remarkable 5,252 trillion Octavias 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 mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,809 Octavias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

"The Daily Sacrifice" is a routine segment of morning news shows, all the playground's a stage for Skoda Driversian schoolchildren, many Skoda Driversians struggle to find outlets for their pent-up competitive juices, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Skoda Drivers's national animal is the Skoda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Motoring.

Skoda Drivers is ranked 59,902nd in the world and 1st in Wyndia for Most Extreme, scoring 29.42 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
