The Republic of Yandonia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Delano Taft with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.62 billion Yandonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atherin. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Yandonian economy, worth 202 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,465 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yandonia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yandonia is ranked 27,135th in the world and 1,568th in Osiris for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 75.56 Effective Tax Rate.
