The Xenopolis of YoriZ is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by demographically representative panelists with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.23 billion well-informed floating voters are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient worker-controlled economy, worth an astonishing 15,434 trillion e-gold™s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 357,027 e-gold™s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Die-hard fans excitedly cheer when the queen takes a rook, all you have to do is pray to get into YoriZ, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. YoriZ's national animal is the bureau©rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

YoriZ is ranked 294,314^th in the world and 173^rd in Anarchy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
