The Spook Shack Author of Yidhari is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 2.294 billion Yidharians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.5%.

The all-consuming Yidharian economy, worth 257 trillion doubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,371 doubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 318,094 per year while the poor average 31,742, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yidhari's national animal is the mantis shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Yidhari is ranked 212,978^th in the world and 644^th in Perseverance for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -2.7 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
