The University of Yale is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elihu Yale with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 4.198 billion Yalies are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Haven. The average income tax rate is 46.5%.
The strong Yale economy, worth 255 trillion Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,803 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
The new one Sterling coin also makes a handy throwing-star, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, and citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yale's national animal is the bulldog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Boola Boola.
Yale is ranked 197,486th in the world and 10th in Seinfeld for Fattest Citizens, with 9.47 Obesity Rate.
