The District of York Landing is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.457 billion York Landingians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong York Landingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,052 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,272 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,776 per year while the poor average 3,238, a ratio of 126 to 1.

York Landing has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of York Landing in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. York Landing's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

York Landing is ranked 248,530^th in the world and 6^th in Toronto for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 539.17 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
