The Holy Blue Zombie of Yodle 48 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 4.332 billion Yodle 48ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yodle 48ian economy, worth 249 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,621 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and structures are raised on promises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 48's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Yodle 48 is ranked 139,631^st in the world and 8^th in The Region That Has One State Bank for Highest Average Incomes, with 57,621.75 Standard Monetary Units.
