The Commonwealth of Yelkinam is a massive, genial nation, ruled by A Cool Guy with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.874 billion Yelkinamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcania. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Yelkinamian economy, worth 309 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 107,689 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, a third of Yelkinamians are e-certified CEOs, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yelkinam's national animal is the Badger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Yelkinam is ranked 62,649th in the world and 3,476th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
