The Republic of Yorkari is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by George Lint with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate population of 4.176 billion Yorks 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valenca. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The all-consuming York economy, worth 422 trillion Trefts a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,189 Trefts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, and subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yorkari's national animal is the Martial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Yorkari is ranked 19,790^th in the world and 213^th in Europeia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 54.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
