The Republic of You 884 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.689 billion You 884ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.4%.
The You 884ian economy, worth 129 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,207 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Lending money has become a major liability, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 884's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
