The Republic of You 44 is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 9.001 billion You 44ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The You 44ian economy, worth 536 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,563 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. You 44's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

You 44 is ranked 120,088^th in the world and 376^th in Dead Sea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,108.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
