The Rogue Nation of Yi Xi is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.358 billion customers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamont. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped customer economy, worth 43.3 trillion yuan 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 31,851 yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", Yi Xi has designated Lamont as its capital city, citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, and the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yi Xi's national animal is the vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yi Xi is ranked 68,025^th in the world and 8^th in Squareworld for Nicest Citizens, with 16.29 average smiles per day.
