The Allied States of Youserbistan is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.067 billion Youserbistanians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belgradabad. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Youserbistanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion Bucats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,956 Bucats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, and the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season. Crime is totally unknown. Youserbistan's national animal is the Goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Youserbistan is ranked 15,302^nd in the world and 31^st in The Internationale for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
