The Nudist Colony of Yodle 12 is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.791 billion Yodleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yodle 12ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,727 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 160,102 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown. Yodle 12's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yodle 12 is ranked 5,907^th in the world and 14^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 145 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
