The Republic of Yyx115 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.694 billion Yyx115ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx115ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,508 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx115's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yyx115 is ranked 12,912th in the world and 34th in YYX for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
