The Colony of Y68 is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.19 billion Y68ians 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 tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Y68ian economy, worth 62.9 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 52,821 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 156,359 per year while the poor average 14,015, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras and Y68 City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Y68's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Y68 is ranked 154,694^th in the world and 7^th in United Trading Company Inc for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,821.13 Standard Monetary Units.
