The General of the battlefront of Yuripee is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.786 billion Yuripeeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.6%.

The powerhouse Yuripeean economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,050 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuripee's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yuripee is ranked 17,853^rd in the world and 8^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
