The People's Republic of Ysfarr is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 287 million Ysfarrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52.0%.

The strong Ysfarrian economy, worth 12.5 trillion Zívíyós a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,458 Zívíyós, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, you can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, civil servants refuse to enforce government regulations for fear of wider economic impact, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ysfarr's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ysfarr is ranked 100,322^nd in the world and 4^th in Kirran for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
