The Holy Blue Zombie of Yode is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 4.411 billion Yodeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Yodean economy, worth 183 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. 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 41,508 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, village elders are often called in to interpret voting outcomes in Parliament, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yode's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Yode is ranked 80,358^th in the world and 5^th in Galactic Empire of Sween for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
