The Republic of Yerrayaz is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 16.808 billion Yerrayazians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yerrayazian economy, worth a remarkable 2,107 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,392 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Gay couples who hold hands are forced into unbreakable bonds, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, windows in Yerrayaz City don't have much of a view, and the government is proudly free of crabs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yerrayaz's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Yerrayaz is ranked 8,233^rd in the world and 1^st in Delaware for Most Developed, scoring 91.73 on the Human Development Index.
