The Federal Republic of Yurp is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Andrew Glass with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.7 billion Yurpians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yurp City. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yurpian economy, worth a remarkable 2,081 trillion Yuroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,630 Yuroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Paraplegics are told to walk it off, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, and foundling babies rarely make it off the doorsteps they are abandoned on. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yurp's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judyism.

Yurp is ranked 14,063^rd in the world and 403^rd in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 16.78 Obesity Rate.
