The Colony of You Founder Me is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.415 billion You Founder Means 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient You Founder Mean economy, worth a remarkable 3,220 trillion Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 174,884 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, and foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You Founder Me's national animal is the Frayed, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

You Founder Me is ranked 282,210th in the world and 10,750th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.17 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
