The Theocracy of Yrra is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 117 million Yrraii | Yrmen are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Yrrai economy, worth 8.78 trillion Yrrai Rēths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 75,055 Yrrai Rēths, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,722 per year while the poor average 13,282, a ratio of 21.9 to 1.

Giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, the only position a woman can hold is baby-maker, and children play Capture the Flag and Capture the Bigtopian General Staff at summer camps. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yrra's national animal is the Bluebuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yrra is ranked 14,551^st in the world and 4^th in Declansburg for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,937.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
