The Republic of Yellow T is a large, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 179 million Yellow T-ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Yellow Tian economy, worth 4.83 trillion chords a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,966 chords, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Yellow Tian airwaves, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yellow T's national animal is the flower.

Yellow T is ranked 257,761^st in the world and 3^rd in Fun for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 20 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
