The Republic of Ysarga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Angela with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 11.748 billion Ysargans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yunaki. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ysargan economy, worth a remarkable 3,962 trillion Lumens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 337,285 Lumens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,234,098 per year while the poor average 19,577, a ratio of 114 to 1.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Angela is a silly poophead, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the nation leads the Rejected Realms for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ysarga's national animal is the Angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Necromancy.

Ysarga is ranked 294,353^rd in the world and 7,265^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
