The Republic of Yerldwarder is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.583 billion Yerldwarderians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Public Transport are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The thriving Yerldwarderian economy, worth 355 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,246 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government invades its allies more than its enemies, among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yerldwarder's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yerldwarder is ranked 271,129^th in the world and 1,157^th in Cainitium for Safest, scoring 7.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
