“In The Name Of The Monarchy”

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

The State of Yedda is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and strictly enforced bedtime. The cynical population of 35.296 billion Yeddans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Yeddan economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 30,997 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, deers are considered a delicacy, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, and teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yedda's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yedda is ranked 290,964^th in the world and 531^st in State for Highest Average Incomes, with 30,997.25 Standard Monetary Units.
