Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United States of Yandy is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 829 million Yandyians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The all-consuming Yandyian economy, worth 64.4 trillion peanuts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 77,644 peanuts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,850 per year while the poor average 11,299, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

The environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, military spending is on the increase, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, and teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yandy's national animal is the rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yandy is ranked 240,918^th in the world and 171^st in Africa for Most Authoritarian, with 407.07 milliStalins.
