The Sultanate of Yeniev is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The hard-working population of 91 million Yenievians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Yenievian economy, worth 3.69 trillion lire a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,514 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and the Yenievian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeniev's national animal is the grey wold, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Yeniev is ranked 113,511th in the world and 26th in The Celestial Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
