The Empire of The Federal States of YEP is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Otto von YEPmarck with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.058 billion YEPians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of YEPania. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.
The frighteningly efficient YEPian economy, worth a remarkable 3,690 trillion YEPian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 366,910 YEPian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Federal States of YEP's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Federal States of YEP is ranked 2,812th in the world and 47th in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 168.2 quips per hour.
