The Empire of Yoiiatin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nater The 1st with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.079 billion Yoiiatinians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Downtown Yoiiatin City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.

The powerhouse Yoiiatinian economy, worth 78.3 trillion Yoiish Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,536 Yoiish Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, Yoiiatinian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoiiatin's national animal is the Yoiistic Woodpecker, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Yoiism.

Yoiiatin is ranked 83,330^th in the world and 5,153^rd in Osiris for Largest Black Market, with 4.39 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
