The Kingdom of Yturia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Their Majesty Purple V with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.103 billion Yturians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kings Mainland. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yturian economy, worth 316 trillion rubles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,981 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and Their Majesty Purple V is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yturia's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yturia is ranked 63,324^th in the world and 3,362^nd in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
