The Community of Yiale is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 105 million Yialeites 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yialean economy, worth 6.01 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,214 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yiale's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yiale is ranked 88,482^nd in the world and 328^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,639.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
