The ✰Boingyangyangyangyangyang✰ of Yarkuo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Meiko Nakahara with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.706 billion Yarkuoaks 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Yark Yark. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yarkuoak economy, worth 255 trillion Huangs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 68,848 Huangs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Newspapers are running a front-page picture of Meiko Nakahara holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, police aim to defeat hatred with love with their "hugs-for-thugs" program, under love's heavy burden Meiko Nakahara sinks lower in the political right's esteem, and the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Yarkuo's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yarkuoism.

Yarkuo is ranked 113,016^th in the world and 3,893^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 20.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
