The Democratic Empire of Soviet Yoshilandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Olfer Kristof with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.109 billion Yoshilandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anadyr. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Yoshilandian economy, worth 412 trillion Siberian Rubles 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 impressive 100,388 Siberian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, Soviet Yoshilandia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, and it is universally agreed that the first 31 issues are the only ones with humor and charm (Soviet Yoshilandia has found 2 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Yoshilandia's national animal is the Yoshi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yoshism.

Soviet Yoshilandia is ranked 76,644^th in the world and 5^th in Siberia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,283.17 Standard Monetary Units.
