The Principality of Little Ythaly is a very large, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates. The compassionate, democratic population of 370 million Little Ythalyians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Little Ythalyian economy, worth 18.1 trillion denarii a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 49,036 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, urban planners beg for just one more lane before bedtime, and Little Ythaly successfully hosted the IS Federation Olympics. Crime is almost non-existent. Little Ythaly's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Little Ythaly is ranked 29,018^th in the world and 1^st in IS Federation for Safest, scoring 109.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
