The Office Chair Balooist of Yazakhastan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Albert I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.854 billion Yazakhs are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazan. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yazakhastanian economy, worth 773 trillion Rhybnules 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 159,335 Rhybnules, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yazakhastan's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Russian Orthodoxy.

Yazakhastan is ranked 31,337^th in the world and 17^th in Callista for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 179.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
