The Holy Republic of Yodle 25 is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.846 billion Yodle 25ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The powerhouse Yodle 25ian economy, worth 574 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 83,932 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

"Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, black gold is looking more brown these days, schoolchildren are divided over Emperor Wuff's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 25's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Yodle 25 is ranked 230,838^th in the world and 6^th in PeanutCraft for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.19 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
