The Beastar of Yafya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 500 Cornered Rats with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 2.085 billion Yafyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Police Headquarters. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yafyan economy, worth 245 trillion Carrots a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,734 Carrots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

500 Cornered Rats has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, it's hard to speak ill of the dead when you don't speak of them at all, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yafya's national animal is the Three-Fourths Gray Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Yafya is ranked 30,392^nd in the world and 1^st in Cherryton for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.16 Effective Tax Rate.
