The Democratic Republic of Yankoun is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 602 million Yankounians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Than Tun. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yankounian economy, worth 27.3 trillion kyats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,331 kyats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yankoun's national animal is the green peafowl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yankoun is ranked 12,211^th in the world and 300^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 28.11 average smiles per day.
