The Empire of Yimu-Audal is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 287 million Yimu-Audalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Yimu-Audalian economy, worth 7.59 trillion Audalads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 26,439 Audalads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, the teaching of evolution has been banned, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yimu-Audal's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Yimu-Audal is ranked 126,410th in the world and 5,958th in Lazarus for Most Conservative, scoring 59.86 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
