The Republic of Yorenz is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The quiet, industrious population of 626 million Yorenzians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Yorenzian economy, worth 52.8 trillion Lumiones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 84,291 Lumiones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, the government snoops on private internet connections, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yorenz's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yorenz is ranked 65,771st in the world and 10th in Holo for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,202.65 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
