The You are welcome of YW is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.751 billion YWians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient YWian economy, worth a remarkable 1,931 trillion Smiles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,654 Smiles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's a hole in the heart of every YWian city, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. YW's national animal is the Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

YW is ranked 69,664^th in the world and 3,944^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
