The Community of YYY is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.92 billion YYYians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient YYYian economy, worth a remarkable 1,687 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,234 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. YYY's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
YYY is ranked 49,321st in the world and 3,088th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
