The Republic of Yutoupia is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8 billion Yutoupians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yutoupian economy, worth a remarkable 4,297 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 537,226 currencies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,945,937 per year while the poor average 49,891, a ratio of 59.0 to 1.

Ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, it's always rabbit season, and there's no weight to modern politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yutoupia's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yutoupia is ranked 550th in the world and 16th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,544.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
