The Democratic Republic of Yavin 6 is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by General Skywalker with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 948 million Yavin 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mustafar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.8%.

The powerhouse Yavin 6ian economy, worth 112 trillion Dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 an impressive 118,610 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, billions of Dollars are spent to take high-quality photos of the Falcon Nebula, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yavin 6's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yavin 6 is ranked 35,229^th in the world and 199^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 61.78 kickbacks per hour.
