The Grand Duchy of Yooo is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Yootha with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 44.828 billion Yoooans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — prioritizes Law & Order, with Environment, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Administration and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yooo City. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Yoooan economy, worth a remarkable 1,718 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,339 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yooo's national animal is the yar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yoothanism.

Yooo is ranked 330,096^th in the world and 34^th in Arctic for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
