The Kingdom of Yardies is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Andy Ganteks with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.565 billion Yardies 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Yard economy, worth 502 trillion Mobs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,959 Mobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yardies's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Monke.
Yardies is ranked 97,620th in the world and 1,191st in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,928.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
