The Incorporated States of Yriae is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 123 million Yrieggites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Yriaean economy, worth 3.94 trillion phlegmes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,059 phlegmes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yriae's national animal is the horseshit beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yriae is ranked 21,219^th in the world and 811^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
