The Republic of -Yuri

“Pride and Industry”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of -Yuri is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 886 million -Yurians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient -Yurian economy, worth 39.9 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,063 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Yuri's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

-Yuri is ranked 34,231^st in the world and 3^rd in DDLC for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
