The Commonwealth Empire of Yulandburg is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Pahinha Balduo with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.567 billion Yussrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balündau. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yussrian economy, worth 259 trillion Yubois a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,053 Yubois, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, most fires are already out by the time the bucket brigade gets to them, artists attempt to convince the Hardship Fund that their unmade bed is a masterpiece, and sheep-like political loyalists repeat the mantra "one wheel bad, three wheels good". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yulandburg's national animal is the Yussrian Black Golden-Beak Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hagai.

Yulandburg is ranked 152,130^th in the world and 120^th in Corsair for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 452.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
