The Republic of Yyx51 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.722 billion Yyx51ians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Yyx51ian economy, worth 980 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,886 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 512,773 per year while the poor average 30,080, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.
Prison is a nightmare, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, printing ink yields a major religion's biggest return on investment, and demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx51's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yyx51 is ranked 15,965th in the world and 43rd in YYX for Most Corrupt Governments, with 117.18 kickbacks per hour.
