The Federation of Yukanan is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 862 million Yukananians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yukananian economy, worth 70.0 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,150 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, Yukananians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yukanan's national animal is the Green Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yukanan is ranked 296,716^th in the world and 128^th in Africa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
