The Holy Borderlands of Yodle 16 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.841 billion Yodle 16ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Yodle 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,544 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 142,439 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, tweenage nobles order army regiments to do their homework for them, and singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 16's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yodle 16 is ranked 24,125^th in the world and 5^th in Disney World for Most Cultured, scoring 83 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
