The Commonwealth of Yazeedia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.533 billion Yazeedians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of November City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.5%.
The strong Yazeedian economy, worth 262 trillion Zees a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,265 Zees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,294 per year while the poor average 13,547, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yazeedia's national animal is the Zuu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Yazeedia is ranked 122,736th in the world and 130th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Governments, scoring 14.9 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
