The Matriarchy of The Island Of Yib is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 32 million Yibians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Yiblish economy, worth 657 billion Yiblish dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 20,535 Yiblish dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Island Of Yib's national animal is the Pink flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Island Of Yib is ranked 77,833^rd in the world and 62^nd in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Safest, scoring 91.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
