The Oppressed Peoples of Yamagoochie is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.829 billion Yamagoochieans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Yamagoochiean economy, worth 581 trillion tiles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,628 tiles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Laughter while watching foreign diplomats disrobe tends to make diplomatic talks counterproductive, most academic research has ground to a halt, reinventing the wheel is a favourite pastime of Yamagoochiean weapons designers, and citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Yamagoochie's national animal is the yeti, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yamagoochie is ranked 82,667^th in the world and 5^th in Neocortex for Highest Poor Incomes, with 37,115.88 Standard Monetary Units.
