The Anarchy of Yor is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.729 billion Yorians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yorian economy, worth a remarkable 3,889 trillion Tolars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 163,931 Tolars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 774,141 per year while the poor average 20,570, a ratio of 37.6 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, it's best not to ask what goes into Yor City Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yor's national animal is the Ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yor is ranked 19,881st in the world and 1,142nd in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 63.63 quips per hour.
