The Fluffy Republic of Yun Tan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mieczysław Ruciński with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.138 billion Yun Tanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fotoflan. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yun Tanian economy, worth 180 trillion Tans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 84,244 Tans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, a revolving door was recently installed at the entrance of the Yun Tanian Capitol Building, political cartoons depicting Mieczysław Ruciński's face on a Pink Galah's buttocks are selling like hotcakes, and a new Brasilistani government has become a daily report on the main evening news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yun Tan's national animal is the Pink Galah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Yun Tan is ranked 308,950^th in the world and 1,489^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -10 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
