The Federation of Yacari is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Presidente do Conselho Federal Popular with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.008 billion Yacarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Soberana. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Yacarian economy, worth 106 trillion Tesouro populars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 105,421 Tesouro populars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yacari's national animal is the Tiê-sangue, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yacari is ranked 6,379^th in the world and 201^st in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 40.7 average smiles per day.
