The Psychedelic Rock Pioneers of The Yardbirds is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Keith Reif with a fair hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 25.514 billion Yardbirdsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yardbirdsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,130 trillion Beck Page Clapton Pounds a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 201,093 Beck Page Clapton Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, Keith Reif's military council has been nicknamed 'The Knights of the Rotund Table', government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Yardbirds's national animal is the Blues Hobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

The Yardbirds is ranked 291,486^th in the world and 733^rd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 18.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
