The Holy Blue Zombie of Yodle 77 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.309 billion Yodle 77ians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.8%.

The thriving Yodle 77ian economy, worth 242 trillion Gold Coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,257 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children are regularly married to each other to secure alliances between families, eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 77'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 77 is ranked 250,974^th in the world and 6^th in The Disneyland Resort for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.99 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
