The Republic of Yyx13 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.768 billion Yyx13ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Yyx13ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,249 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Yyx13ian stage setups, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, and all fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx13's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Yyx13 is ranked 113,149th in the world and 118th in YYX for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 158.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
