The Republic of Yyx23 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.731 billion Yyx23ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Yyx23ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,181 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 175,480 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,872 per year while the poor average 45,882, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.
Some of the country's most famous photographers are animals, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx23's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yyx23 is ranked 15,382nd in the world and 52nd in YYX for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
