The Republic of Ysarga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Angela with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 11.649 billion Ysargans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yunaki. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Ysargan economy, worth a remarkable 3,924 trillion Lumens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 336,925 Lumens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,258,547 per year while the poor average 18,885, a ratio of 119 to 1.
Even secular Ysargans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", the Ysargan Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, and economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ysarga's national animal is the Angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Necromancy.
Ysarga is ranked 14,307th in the world and 233rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,823.09965265992 days.
