The Rogue Nation of Simbad y Yusu is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 436 million Simbad y Yusuans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankishi. The average income tax rate is 15.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Simbad y Yusuan economy, worth 28.2 trillion Chabs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,621 Chabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, Scout campfire sing-a-longs tend to focus on the evils of antitrust legislation, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and Simbad y Yusu has designated Ankishi as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Simbad y Yusu's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Simbad y Yusu is ranked 221,503^rd in the world and 147^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Black Market, with 302 billion Standard Monetary Units.
