The Holy Blue Zombie of Yodle 49 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The devout population of 4.16 billion Yodle 49ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 41.9%.

The strong Yodle 49ian economy, worth 254 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,196 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 49's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Yodle 49 is ranked 67,311^th in the world and 2^nd in The Region That Has One State Bank for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 142.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
