The Republic of Yektov is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Rostyslav Andrij with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 830 million Yektosks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dalsk. The average income tax rate is 7.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Yektosk economy, worth 48.0 trillion Zolotoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,796 Zolotoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, Yektov has designated Dalsk as its capital city, and Premier Rostyslav Andrij has just been declared ruler of Yektov in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yektov's national animal is the Black Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yektov is ranked 94,100^th in the world and 55^th in The Western Isles for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,726.39 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
