The Holy Blue Republic of Yodle 36 is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.332 billion Yodle 36ians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong Yodle 36ian economy, worth 45.2 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,956 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Yodle 36ians, parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables, and a major religion has been named as Yodle 36's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yodle 36's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yodle 36 is ranked 187,057^th in the world and 105^th in Disney World for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 470.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
