The Federation of Yviria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aleric Burdan with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.193 billion Yvirians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascendens. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yvirian economy, worth 568 trillion Yvirian Novis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,931 Yvirian Novis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime is totally unknown. Yviria's national animal is the Yvirian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yviria is ranked 51,221^st in the world and 5^th in Solstice for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,939.53 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
