The Democratic Republic of Yankoun is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 511 million Yankounians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Than Tun. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yankounian economy, worth 23.1 trillion kyats 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 major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,195 kyats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, judges are all-powerful, thalassophobia and heliophobia are on the rise, and jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yankoun's national animal is the green peafowl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yankoun is ranked 113,348^th in the world and 435^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 58.96 on the Human Development Index.
