The Federal Republic of Yurp is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrew Glass with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 9.572 billion Yurpians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yurp City. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yurpian economy, worth a remarkable 1,248 trillion Yuroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 130,472 Yuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yurp's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judyism.

Yurp is ranked 267,184^th in the world and 9,514^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.65 average smiles per day.
