The Rise of Yexafa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yex Afa with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 28.391 billion Yexafans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Social Policy, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yexafa. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Yexafan economy, worth 670 trillion Rings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,624 Rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, Yex Afa has just been declared ruler of Yexafa in an international press conference, and Yexism has been named as Yexafa's national religion. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yexafa's national animal is the duck, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Yexism.

Yexafa is ranked 219,154^th in the world and 1^st in New Year for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,628.6 Standard Monetary Units.
