The Republic of Yoyle is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jack with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 1.36 billion Yoyleans 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, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yoyle City. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yoylean economy, worth 151 trillion Yoylean dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,541 Yoylean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, the Yoyle City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoyle's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yoyle is ranked 66,935^th in the world and 7^th in Goninan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,148.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
