The Community of Yarshara is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.129 billion Yarsharans 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Yarsharan economy, worth 187 trillion labour vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 59,767 labour vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Yarsharans's kindness, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Yarshara's national animal is the heeler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yarshara is ranked 46,292nd in the world and 2,548th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 35.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
