The Vast Plains of Big Front Yard is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Architect with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.259 billion Wanderers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haven. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wanderer economy, worth a remarkable 2,749 trillion gears a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,578 gears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, and short is not always sweet. Crime is totally unknown. Big Front Yard's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taoism.

Big Front Yard is ranked 5,591st in the world and 50th in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 3,061.6647072 days.
