The District of Yathe is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The cynical population of 32.566 billion Yathians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Yathean economy, worth 990 trillion betales 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 Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 30,407 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, surveillance cameras are banned, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and Yathe has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yathe's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yathe is ranked 125,642^nd in the world and 319^th in United States of America for Most Primitive, scoring -38.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
