The Holy Empire of Free Yajib is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its suspicion of poets and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 250 million Free Yajibians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.
The very strong Free Yajibian economy, worth 16.4 trillion Golden Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,400 Golden Francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Yajib's national animal is the Ria MPI bland.
Free Yajib is ranked 134,402nd in the world and 2nd in Yajib for Most Beautiful Environments, with 534.52 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
