The NGE Reminiscence of Yoska is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Abriter with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.227 billion Yoskans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo-Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yoskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 293,031 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 930,560 per year while the poor average 70,301, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

If a tree falls in the forest Grand Abriter is personally notified, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Yoskans any less frightened, many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoska's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yoska is ranked 323,739th in the world and 95th in The Global Elite for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
