The Democratic Republic of Yavin 6 is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by General Skywalker with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 925 million Yavin 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mustafar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.6%.

The powerhouse Yavin 6ian economy, worth 104 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,744 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", the statue in the Larson Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, and the first sword of Yavin 6 does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yavin 6's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yavin 6 is ranked 113,528^th in the world and 480^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,312.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
