The Republic of Yrawrda is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.493 billion Yrawrdans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Yrawrdan economy, worth 460 trillion florins 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 131,848 florins, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
Builders across Yrawrda are blocked up with orders for new public loos, one does not simply walk into the tundra, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', and devotion to God is only skin-deep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yrawrda's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Yrawrda is ranked 232,385th in the world and 905th in Cainitium for Safest, scoring 19.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
