The Vala Ainur of Yavanna Lady of Arda is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Will of Eru with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.757 billion Yavanna are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nadhor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yavanna economy, worth 290 trillion Light of the Valars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. 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 105,492 Light of the Valars, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Yavanna Lady of Arda, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yavanna Lady of Arda's national animal is the Secret Fire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith of Eru.

Yavanna Lady of Arda is ranked 121,650th in the world and 20th in After the Fall for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,930.99 Standard Monetary Units.
