The Cute Little Kitten of The Yazhou Federation is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Federal Council of Yazhou with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 3.691 billion Yazhourians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lower Yangtze Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 77.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yazhourian economy, worth 564 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,010 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Yazhourians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, a century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, and pedants defending The Federal Council of Yazhou observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Yazhou Federation's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Yazhou Federation is ranked 21,500^th in the world and 724^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 86 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
