The Matriarchy of Yuritopium is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Chairwoman Kyra with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 949 million Yuritopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yuritopan economy, worth 77.0 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 81,112 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Atlantis" t-shirts, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Yuritopan officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Yuritopan citizenship, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuritopium's national animal is the Pacific Marten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yuritopium is ranked 15,944^th in the world and 536^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,892.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
