The Fluffy Republic of Yun Tan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mieczysław Ruciński with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.182 billion Yun Tanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fotoflan. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yun Tanian economy, worth 186 trillion Tans 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 major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 85,365 Tans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A new Brasilistani government has become a daily report on the main evening news, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, nation-building is the new national pastime, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yun Tan's national animal is the Pink Galah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Yun Tan is ranked 14,810^th in the world and 308^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 116.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
