“Never be offensive, always be vigilant.”

The Disputed Territories of Ymuyr is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 14.046 billion Ymuyrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Ymuyrian economy, worth 372 trillion thules a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 26,529 thules, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious education is a new government priority, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Ymuyr City Times is sold out, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ymuyr's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ymuyr is ranked 101,539^th in the world and 21^st in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Largest Governments, scoring 16.52 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
