The Queendom of The Sky Queen is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.049 billion Sky Queenians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The strong Sky Queenian economy, worth 59.6 trillion Golden Crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,781 Golden Crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,868 per year while the poor average 8,333, a ratio of 29.5 to 1.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, decongestants have replaced Golden Crowns in street transactions, going on a diet invalidates your passport, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sky Queen's national animal is the White Dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The Sky Queen is ranked 32,905^th in the world and 1^st in The rejected region for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,660.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
