The Infinite Empire of Yallak is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 45.578 billion Yallakians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrandin. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yallakian economy, worth a remarkable 8,082 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,340 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, and patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yallak's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yallak is ranked 948^th in the world and 1^st in Tyrrhenia for Largest Populations, with 45.6 billion capita.
