The Free State of Ybova is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President of the Free State Eli Bantam with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.802 billion ybovians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primos-Nabulae. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient ybovian economy, worth a remarkable 3,665 trillion Ybovian gems a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,351 Ybovian gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, President of the Free State Eli Bantam's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime is totally unknown. Ybova's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Ybova is ranked 291^st in the world and 8^th in Calme Ybovien for Nicest Citizens, with 138.07 average smiles per day.
