The Parliamentary Monarchy of East New Yorkshire is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ylva Blakesly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.249 billion New Yorkies enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shukkenshin. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Yorkshirean economy, worth 65.6 trillion Tomis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,535 Tomis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and Reidōism has been named as East New Yorkshire's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East New Yorkshire's national animal is the Airedale Inugami Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reidōism.

East New Yorkshire is ranked 31,216^th in the world and 4^th in the Yomese Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 18.96 average smiles per day.
