The State of Yee of Old is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.925 billion Yee of Oldians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.5%.

The Yee of Oldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,438 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,523 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, and Yee of Old has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yee of Old's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yee of Old is ranked 99,850^th in the world and 1^st in Bonn for Most Corrupt Governments, with 13.17 kickbacks per hour.
