The State of YR is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.164 billion YRians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals is primarily concerned with Industry, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong YRian economy, worth 654 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,047 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,995 per year while the poor average 2,295, a ratio of 100 to 1.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of YR in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. YR's national animal is the deer.

YR is ranked 198,805^th in the world and 222^nd in Omega Prime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.38 kickbacks per hour.
