The Holy Blue Zombie of Yod is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.92 billion Yodleans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 59.2%.

The powerhouse Yodian economy, worth 689 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,631 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Emperor Wuff's childhood, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yod's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yod is ranked 274,399th in the world and 7th in Yo Mama for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.26 percentage of bribes refused.
