Description:
The Republic of Yuppolot is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Yuppolotians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The very strong Yuppolotian economy, worth 1.33 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 66,253 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 432,001 per year while the poor average 4,021, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Pranking is an art form, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Yuppolot's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yuppolot is ranked 262,938th in the world and 881st in Europe for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.73 missed references per hour.
