The Kingdom of Yarbridge is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Arwald with a fair hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.647 billion Yarbridgeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beech Grove. The average income tax rate is 64.5%.

The thriving Yarbridgean economy, worth 780 trillion baht a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 73,350 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, Party members are derided as class traitors, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yarbridge's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is pagan.

Yarbridge is ranked 135,339th in the world and 24th in Wihtwara for Most Stationary, with 235.13434256948 days.
