The Republic of Yuriru is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 140 million Yuriry are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Yuriri economy, worth 3.09 trillion Pynds 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. 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 22,070 Pynds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posters on 'Yuriri Values' advise against being proud of Yuriru, artists are pillars of society, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuriru's national animal is the Drâg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yuriru is ranked 69,962^nd in the world and 369^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 26.03 kickbacks per hour.
