The Community of Skyclad is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.187 billion Skycladians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Skyclad economy, worth 631 trillion pounds 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 121,691 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon", boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers', and one can wake up in Skyclad and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown. Skyclad's national animal is the bluejay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dispossession.

Skyclad is ranked 324,444th in the world and 58th in Nudist Dreamland for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
