The State of Young Husband is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.111 billion Young Husbandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The strong Young Husbandian economy, worth 862 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 dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 47,646 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and Young Husband has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Young Husband's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Young Husband is ranked 167,941st in the world and 3rd in Missouri for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 165.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
